Kleo Restaurant & Bar

While this is a hotel lobby restaurant, once inside you'll forget you're in a hotel. Nice bar area with happy hour Monday thru Thursday 2pm - 6pm. Complimentary appetizer (OpenTable) of feta, olives and marinara with pita was very tasty!The bean soup was slightly spicy and full of wonderful flavor!For an entree I had the pork chop and as with everything else was equally tasty. Service from Elexis and team was fantastic and the staff did a great job of making us feel welcome and appreciated.For us locals, especially those who live in the immediate area, it would be nice to have easier access to the canal trails. I'd think it would also make a more enjoyable experience to hotel guests to be able to get to nearby places easier on foot.Hopefully the city is planning that--more side walks and trails connected to the standalone "bridges to nowhere".

After an unexpected three day delay during my trip to Australia, I landed at IHG's newest property in Irvine Texas. Unbeknownst to me, it had only opened a couple of days earlier so I was one of the first guests at their lovely restaurant, Kleo. I had planned on only eating there the first day, as usually hotel restaurants are over-priced and underwhelming. This can absolutely not be said for Kleo. The menu is creative and uncomplicated with just enough options to be interesting without being overwhelming. Many of the items on the menu were vegetarian or able to be adapted to suit, delighting this plant-based foodie! Because the team and menu are so new, the sous-chefs and F&B management were eager for constructive feedback and very receptive to my critique. There was only one dish that required that though and the team comped me for the meal, even though I did not want them to! Everything else was a delicious taste journey with well-balanced texture and flavor in unexpected combinations. The service was exemplary - Fernanda, Elexa and Christian were particularly wonderful and attentive. I would write down everyone's name, but cannot recall them all! I will add descriptions on each of the dishes separately because they were fabulous and creative, inspired by the sous-chef's own family recipes and heritage.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 1 night at this new property on our last night before heading to the airport in the morning for an early flight. We grabbed appetizers & and few happy hour drinks at the bar before we ordered dinner. Food was amazing but the service was even better!! Piper and Sonia the two bartenders were some of the nicest & funniest people we ever met and we had so much fun hanging out at the bar because of them. They took care of everything we needed and I would highly recommended this hotel & restaurant to anyone looking for a hotel in the area, we will definitely be back to visit our new found friends

The food was SO delicious. I am vegetarian, so I really appreciated all of the meat-free options that they had. You don't typically get that at most restaurants. I had breakfast and dinner, both were so good! Our server was also great, she was so friendly and attentive. She made the experience a very positive one. And you would never know that you are at a hotel, the restaurant and bar are beautiful and feel like you've ventured outside of your hotel.

The severs here at the bar Piper, Houston, Gibbron were amazing the drinks came out great the environment is so fun and welcoming.
