This may be the highest praise I have read from Robb Walsh on a restaurant. Can anyone remember higher praise than this from him?

Thanks for picking that up. (I was remiss on my digest duties last week. Haven't played catch up yet. ) That kind of high praise means I will definitely go there.

Absolutely. Re: his very postive review of Aries.

By the way, Robb's next book will be out in June. There is already a great picture of the book cover at amazon.com.

See "The Tex-Mex Cookbook"

One reason why we have not seen such high praise is because Monica Pope hasn't opened a new restaurant in quite a while.

(Now let's see if Texas Monthly pays it a visit too!hehehe)

A fine review and a place I would like to eat when I am next in Houston.

Robb Walsh gives an excellent review for this new Houston eatery:

I am not sure I agree with his complain about the meaning of the name. I mean the restaurant is supposed to be Mediterranean not Creole or African so taking the Mediterranean/European meaning of the word seems very appropriate. Any thoughts?
