"Cutest wine bar in the Montrose collective area! Perfect spot to catch with up with girls. They have a huge wine selection and a small food menu as well. Loved the atmosphere, especially with all the Christmas decorations up. Will definitely be coming back!"

"Awesome experience. Staff is super eager to ensure you have a great experience. Food is out quick and made with care. Pizza is pretty good and consistent with the typical Crust in other locations. decent wine selection and they offer 50% on Wednesday with purchase of a pie."

Pane e Vino Ristorante Italiano

★★★★☆ 4.1 (321) • $$

"Lighting of a facility is a little muted. I assume to make the mood a bit more intimate. Not a large establishment. I would guess 60-70 guests including the bar area. Prices are okay. Pretty average for the quantity of the food. Service was okay. But then again there was very little in attendance. A small deduction which is not represented in the 3 star review was of the staff members had on tooooooo much cologne. It was very off putting when you taste cologne over the entree. I try the steak risotto. It was okay. Nothing that screams I have to come back. Vodka sauce was okay on flavor but very stingy on the sauce. Rigatoni and meatballs was okay again. The sauce was limited. The meatballs were surprisingly tender but under seasoned. Nevertheless this place is better than any other big chain like OG or Macaroni Grill."

Crust Pizza Co. - Creekside

★★★★☆ 4.4 (124) • $$

"The wife and I stopped in while traveling through the area. So glad we did. The Woodlands has a lot of great restaurants and I count this one amount them. This was our first time here. Industrial decor, concrete floors, rough sawn wood tables; I like this place. We walked past a couple outdoor tables on the way in. One of the employees gave us the rundown of the menu and ordering process. We got the Garlic Cheese Bread and a pizza (Carl's King minus a couple ingredients), one glass of wine for me, and preordered the Cookie Monster. The Garlic Cheese Bread arrived first as expected. The marinara sauce with the bread was fantastic. The wife always goes for the ranch sauce. Both very delicious. The pizza arrived and the dough was not too thin and not too thick. Just right and very flavorful. After we were thoroughly full, the Cookie Monster arrived. A sizzling skillet full of cookie and ice cream. The ice cream serves two purposes: 1) to pair with the cookie 2) to keep you from getting 3rd degree burns on your tongue. Everything was just exceptional. The food and the service were outstanding. I definitely will be back if we are in the area again. The wine was a little thin. Not that I have a refined pallet by any means (I did start drinking wine from a box); however, I have grown up a little since then and I do enjoy a nice wine. The wife would have gotten a splitting migraine had she ordered this wine. Other than the fruit of the vine, everything was magnificent. Stop in and try it! Bon appetit Yelpers!"

Crisp

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1064) • $$

"Wow oh wow what a gem found in Houston! We were in town for spring break and our group was hungry for Italian and pizza. I fired up the ole trusty Yelp app to help me find out next meal. We were fortunate enough to find Crisp.We were a decent size party of 4 adults and 4 kids. Our waiter Alex took our order and provided us some recommendations. Everything came out good for the most part except for my wife's salad where she asked for shrimp instead of chicken. Alex promptly had a new order put in to correct the issue. Then the manager came over and chatted with us. He was a great manager and bantered with us well. And compared us toe desserts which were very tasty.Overall the atmosphere was nice and quaint for a neighborhood Italian restaurant. The service was great and the food was excellent. Order any pizza, calzone or calamari and you will super enjoy it.When we come back to Houston we will make the time to come back and visit!So good!"

"Dined in on a Tuesday at 12:30 pm for a party of 4. You order at the counter first and seat yourself. Their baguettes are so fresh and delicious!We ordered:Sandwich au steak: THE BEST SANDWICH! The creamy mushroom sauce is to die for! It came with potato salad which was just ok Traditional Jambon au Beurre: great flavors, the butter is so creamy, we got fries with this and they were crispy goodness! Next time I'll ask for mustard, lettuce and tomatoes to be addedTomato Basil soup: more on the chunky side, no cream, not the bestFrench onion soup: a tad too sweetPistachio cake: good strong pistachio flavor, the cake was so moistStrawberry shortcake: DELICIOUS! The strawberries in the middle were frozen"

LIght Years Natural Wine Shop & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (62) • $$

"Well, they're light years ahead of their competition, but they inherently tend to complain about things, not like a forced type thing, but they're prone to a natural whine.This is a really nice but kind of expensive wine shop located in Montrose. You expect it to be expensive considering where it is.We love that they have a much different selection to your typical liquor store and to the grocery store. And for those who have finer tastes I highly recommend checking it out. As long as money is no problem."

Neighbors

★★★★☆ 4.3 (59)

"Your favorite neighborhood bar. I stopped by Neighbors on a Saturday evening for some wine and pizza. A great combo if I can say so myself. Located in EaDo, Neighbors isn't in the heart of EaDo but close to it. They have a small parking lot that was full when I arrived so I found parking on a side street close by. You order at the counter. After starting out with a bottle of Rose, we went with a pepperoni pizza too. I have never been terribly impressed with the pizza scene in Houston but Neighbors does a good job. The pizza is enough for two people to likely have leftovers. It had just enough grease. And the pepperoni was cupped which you know is next level. While their menu is small (both pizza and wine), it's mighty. They also have beer and liquor. Neighbors makes for a fun spot for a chill night out with some comfortable seating or for a date spot."

Duchess

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32)

"I took my friend out for her birthday on a Sunday evening.It's a new restaurant, maybe open a month based on what I could tell, so both of our first time dining in. Located in Uptown Park, this used to be Belveder, for those familiar with old Houston nigtlife : )It was not crowded at all, but I had a resy. The bar looked really cute. That may be worth a visit. Ambiance- beautiful, well decorated furniture, beautiful flower wall. Reminds me of Bloom & Bee. They have inside dining, bu it looks like they are preparing to have outside dining as well, I noted the empty space. Service- was a little intense. The server Mauricio tried to rush us a little. I guess he didn't catch the vibe it was a leisurely birthday dinner between friends? Since they weren't busy, there should be no harm in that. He did say later he was busy with other tables. Maybe he was just new and stressed. He was not a conversationalist, nor was he friendly per see, but did his job. We had to keep asking for info about the dishes and suggestions, but he did oblige. Food- my friend ordered the lamp lollipop comes with 2, seasoned well, slightly grizzly for me. I ordered the crudo snapper. It was over salted. It seemed like the caviar would have been enough salt, but I think they salted it after it was plated as well. I guess for good measure? I would rather a raw dish be over salted than under, but that's just me. For the entree, my friend ordered the Au Jus burger, which I forgot to snag a pic of. My friend enjoyed it. I had a bite, not bad. I then ordered the bread, butter & pickles. I thought that was an interesting idea for someone that wasn't too hungry. The brioche bread was light. It went well with the goat cheese and I would have loved more pickles. I liked the dish. He then offered us a birthday dessert. It was their donuts dish, comes with ice cream, pretty yum. Drinks- I ordered 2 glasses of champagne to start the celebration. Next, we ordered two of the April Blooms, very pretty drink, check out the video and pics. It's vodka, but it's not boozy, so I tolerated it well. I asked for a substitution for gin instead of the vodka, but Mauricio said was a batched drink, no substitution."

Johnnie Bleu

★★★★☆ 4.2 (11)

"Johnnie Bleu is about to be Houston's next big hit! I've been twice now. Once for amapiano night and once for a Black Employee group mixer for my company. The food is delicious especially the wings and fresh sushi. The music is great for all genres of the African diaspora and the bartenders are super cool. Last night we met the owner Pierre and he is such a cool and welcoming person!! I look forward to being a frequent flyer of this place and also ordering those wings on doordash when I can't make it in person"

Tapester's Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (467) • $$

"Cute place on Beechnut for dinner with a large group of friends. My husband loved his mushroom burger and fries. The chicken tortilla soup was okay. It was served with a hot, warm roll which was good. The restaurant was fairly empty which was great for our party of 16. Easy to switch seats to catch up with friends. Parking was easy at the restaurant as it was not that busy. Note: They close at 8 PM on Saturdays. Would come here early if you want to chat with your friends. (Or you'll be talking in the parking lot after they close.)"

Koozies Sports Bar and Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (25)

"I have been waiting to try this spot for some time! I was super excited to finally make it. We were greeted by our friendly waitress, where she served our drinks in a matter of minutes. Surrounded by helmets and jerseys, this sports themed bar is definitely a great place to kick back and enjoy a good game. While this bar is small, the experience was memorable! We ordered the queso, 6 wings (cajun rub and gajuchang), and chili dog with fries. What a great cheat meal! The fries were fresh along with their wings. Super crispy and seasoned to perfection. Their Chili Dog was MASSIVE. I'm so glad this place is right down the street! Until next time, Koozies."

Oporto Fooding House & Wine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (1508) • $$

"Amazing tapas place that's mainly Portuguese style dishes but with Spanish influences and a little bit of Indian fusion in some dishes. We did the scallops, bread basket, octopus, grilled sardines, paella, shrimp and potato's bravas. It was all pretty good and was pleasantly surprised by how tender the steak was in the paella. Nice ambience and would say it's great for groups and for more intimate dates as well"

Padre's Wine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (39) • $$

"Staff were so accommodating for our group of 10~ We met here on a Monday night for girls night/book club. Everyone was able to order their own wines and foods on their own tabs which I always appreciate. We moved chairs to fit everyone and tried moving them back when leaving but they were adamant on us leaving them I thought the food was great for a wine bar, price and quality wise. I'm not sure if it was just this specific day or Mondays in general but oysters were basically half off! $1.50/each for 6 = $9. Regularly it's 3 oysters for $9 BLT surprised me. Great flavor, had the textures you want, crunch. Good. Love love love the natural lighting. Patio out back is also very nice once it gets cooler. Mixed crowd of people during our time here. Love to see it."

Barcelona Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (115)

"As many of you may know, I live near the cypress area in the burbs. I know people all around Houston and don't mind driving out whatsoever. However, when someone asks to meet at a place where parking is an abomination.. my pissy signals start sparking. And boy all mighty.. those pissy signals were in high alert this night. What a freaking mess. You all better get to this place before the Vallet is full because you will be waking about 3 blocks or so in the dark. Although the ambiance makes up for 60% of the trouble. Definitely, a hip crowd of sorts and the lists of wine are endless. Overall, the food was good. Small portions and overpriced for what you are getting. I tried a small plate chorico with fig. It was definitely my favorite.. The taste was awesome. However, it's pricey for the portions. The wines per glass have some that were affordable, but for one person eating light with 2 glasses of wine, you are looking to spend at the very least $60. Overall:Ambiance 5/5Price 3/5Food 4/5Service 5/5Parking 2/5"

B's Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (161)

"I visited B's this last Saturday. I want to preface by saying my review might be a little different had I gone on a regular night. When I arrived I saw a balloon archway which led me to think there might be a private event. I called while in the parking lot and the worker told me to come in and have a drink. I later found out the party rsvps were minimal so they opened the bar up to the public. I think they should post online when they have a private event because I would have visited another night. The music was great. I'm a Louisiana girl and the DJ played a nice mix of old school with a lot of Louisiana rap favorites and lots of line dances. He did a great job. Let's talk ambience. This place is perfect for date night I was there with a girlfriend but this would be perfect for me to come back on a date. I think it's a nice place to have a private event if you live in the area. Ok service was good. I do think the bartender could have been friendlier. There was no bar chatter at all. This is not required but I like when bartenders talk to me lol.There were two female bartenders at the bar with a person who I think was the owner making drinks as well. There was no follow by anyone to ask if Iif the food was ok. The service could have been better. I was having such a good time that although service was lacking a little everything else made up for it. Ok let's talk drinks and food. I had a lemon drop martini. Cabernet Sauvignon and cheese pizza with spinach. The martini was good. The pizza was great. I think they need more wine options. The wine list was not my favorite and I'm a wine blogger. It's not a deal breaker just wish they had more options.Overall good place if you live in the area. It's out of the way if you live in Houston like me and you could probably find a similar option closer. The Astros won the World Series this night and they gave shots to everyone that was also really cool!"

Siphon Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.9 (888) • $

"Although I'm no stranger to Siphon, I found myself here unexpectedly, after realizing I had 0 desire to wait 2 hours for coffee at a packed new hotspot in Montrose. But this visit exceeded my expectations because Siphon now offers food...and I don't mean the empanadas from years past (no shade to the empanadas, they're pretty dang good), but I'm talking chicken pesto sandwiches, tacos, avo toast, chicken and waffles- a stacked menu, and it's giving :DI tried the chicken sandwich and...wow, all I can say is that they're serving restaurant quality food! If you're new to Siphon, I'd advise visiting during off hours, and they're incredibly popular and space is limited. During these times, parking can require a walk, but I use it as an excuse to walk off the chicken sandwich calories."

Crust Pizza Co. - Magnolia

★★★★☆ 4 (7)

"Highly recommend! We got the big cheesy pizza and a custom pizza and they both came out amazing! Very high quality! The service was a bit slow but it was their first day open, and the staff was super friendly. It has a very modern interior and makes you feel like you are going someplace fancy without the high prices! Will be going back!"

The Gypsy Poet

★★★★★ 4.7 (651) • $$

"Intro: I'm going to start things off by firing some shots. I've always said that Houston doesn't have a great pizza scene. That doesn't mean that there aren't solid spots in town, just not at the level I would expect from one of the largest cities in the US. Despite my sentiments, I love pizza and am always on the lookout for an A+ spot. I had heard good things about The Gypsy Poet so I stopped by on a Friday evening for dinner at 8:00 p.m. I found street parking on a side street close by. Service (2/5): Things didn't get off to a good start. You order at the counter and there was a line outside of the door that took roughly 30 minutes to get through. I hate waiting in line. Why are the prospects there for a long line at The Gypsy Poet? The fact that it's a popular pizza joint and that it was a Friday were certainly factors. However, there are some logistical issues too. They don't have menus for you to look at until you're at the counter. As a result, unless people in line look up the menu online before they get to the cashier, they're going to spend a couple of minutes perusing the menu when it's their turn to order. That slows things down substantially. Instead of relying on people to be proactive, if I were The Gypsy Poet, I'd hand out menus to people waiting in line, and then voila, the "traffic jam" lessens. I know having a line outside of your restaurant adds hype, but I hate artificial hype. The staff I interacted with while I was there was pleasant so the service delivers in this area.Ambiance (3.5/5): After you place your order, the experience progressively gets better and better. You select your own seat and they will bring your food to you. There's a variety of seating available including tables, couches, bar stools, and some seating on the patio. It's not a large restaurant so we ended up sitting at the one open table we could find inside. Outside of the seating arrangement, I did notice their playlist. They were playing a lot of EDM as background noise and I dug it. Food (5/5): Gypsy Poet is arguably the best pizza in Houston that I've experienced. Right up there with Luna Pizzeria. We ordered both the Margherita pizza and the Pepperoni Madness pizza. The Margherita is your classic traditional pizza with San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and basil. The Pepperoni Madness has both pepperoni and hot honey. Both of the pizzas were perfection. Everything: the crust, the cheese, the sauce, and the toppings worked in perfect harmony with each other. Out of the two, I would say I liked the Pepperoni Madness the best. It's one of their top sellers so go for it! We also had some tiramisu for dessert (my favorite dessert). A+ for the dessert as well. Drinks (4.5/5): A nice wine list. You can pick a bottle out while you're waiting in line which is exactly what I did. I went with a Pinot Noir, one of my favorite types of wine. They don't give you wine glasses, you're given regular glasses but it's all good. They also have a good beer selection and soft drinks if you're not feeling wine. Overall: The food is five stars hands down. With some logistical tweaks to ameliorate the dining experience, they would easily be a five-star restaurant in my book. They also have another location in The Heights. If you're looking for elite pizza in Houston, The Gypsy Poet has to be at the top of your list."

Benny Thunders

★★★★★ 4.5 (31) • $$

"They have a pretty interesting concept of pouring your own beer or wine (or hell mix the two) and getting charged by the ounce that I haven't seen in Houston before but apparently it's a trendy thing that they have in Austin and other places. I'm not a beer drinker anymore and can't keep up with all the different microbrews and what not so this is right up my ally since I can just sample all the different beers without much commitment. How it works is you go and give your credit card, get another card like you would at a Chuck E Cheese and use that card to run up your tab. Then when you're done, you go back and close out or if there is a long line or something, just drop off their card in one of the self-checkout bowls they have according to how much tip you want to leave. Unfortunately for me, both times I've been here, it's been hot and humid so the patio wasn't that pleasant but they leave bug spray on the tables for you to use which is nice. It's dog friendly too. They have indoor seating too but I'd imagine the patio is better once the weather gets cooler."

Grapevine On Main

★★★★★ 4.8 (21)

"Came here during a trip to Chappell Hill. We sat on the patio and opted for the fried chicken tenders, which was a huge portion (4) and super tasty. We then ordered the Italian sliders and a chicken salad sandwich, but it took over 30 min to arrive to the table. We were told that they had to make the chicken salad from scratch, but we had arrived very off peak around 3pm, so it was quite a long wait. Otherwise, the ambiance was quaint and charming, and the servers were nice."

Passerella Ristorante & Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (75)

"Ever walk into a place and were a bit nervous due to the lack of folks? That would be us this evening when we first approached Passerella's. We quickly learned this was not due to the service, the feel or the food. It is simply due to the construction and newness of the ristorante. My husband and I decided to visit on our date night before the craziness of the upcoming week. I am glad that opentable happen to bring up their open reservations for prime time Thursday evening. We started the meal simply with their fresh bread. By fresh bread, it isn't your standard boring loaf. It was full of flavor that you will find hard to resist. We saw some amazing desserts from the start so for our entrees we decided to save room. I had the cacio de Pepe. Man did that pepper with shaved truffle have the perfect flavor. For what would look like a heavier sauce it was amazing. My husband enjoyed the halibut with prosciutto wrapped scallops. I stole one which was great. He quickly devoured his fish along with risotto. I'd say it was a winning special. Fast forward to our dessert... I enjoyed a slice of spumoni. Even while chatting it up with the chef who personally came out, the slice stayed sitting pretty. We were also pleasantly surprised when we were allowed to try a potential upcoming homemade Oreo treat along with brandy milk. I have never been so In love with adult milk and cookies. The restaurant for being a Thursday evening had a great atmosphere. Nothing too crazy. Music playing at a nice level in the background. A family near by with their children. The wait staff along with everyone genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs rather than a lot of places lately that seem to being doing you a favor by simply doing their job. I look forward to seeing the following grow as time goes. I feel that they too should be hard to get a reservation during prime time. The space was plentiful both inside and out."

The Audrey

★★★★☆ 4.2 (71) • $$

"The Audrey provides an elevated "Breakfast at Tiffany's" vibe. Aesthetically, the restaurant is beautiful and the details down to the place settings are just perfection. Add in the service and you will want to make this your weekly restaurant. I have visited several times now and have enjoyed both the regular menu as well as the brunch menu. Each visit I have had a drink from the bar as well.The food is delicious and plated well. Some of my favorite choices have included the Lobster Bisque (which comes with a Parker Roll) as a lite meal when paired with an appetizer. The Burrata is a warm and crunchy delight with a kick of spice. The Watermelon Carpaccio is a refreshing and tasty small plate as well.The brunch on the weekend is also delicious. I loved the Honey Butter French Toast, and enjoyed a side of the Chicken & Sage Pan Sausage. The Caviar Deviled Eggs are a must try for deviled egg lovers. There are so many great options and it is a must try."

Churrascos - The Woodlands

★★★★☆ 3.5 (397) • $$

"You can't get a view like this at any of the other Churrasco's locations. I've always loved their food. We went for dinner and asked to sit outside, which was my favorite part of being there. Our server was Chris R. and he was absolutely fabulous. He gave great recommendations and was on top of everything. Ordered a mojito. The kids ordered popcorn chicken and slider meals. My husband had the sea bass platter which sits on a bed of pineapple risotto and mango sauce. I had the Pollo Encamisado which is plantain crusted chicken on mashed refried beans, topped with melted cheese and tomatos. I would've given the place 5 stars except for these reasons- the lemonade my kids ordered were almost $6 each (that's pretty steep) and the chicken I ordered used to come with plantains and they swapped these for fries. For the prices they charge, fries is not what I would expect with my meal. That being said, I take the blame for not realizing the menu had been changed. I hope they consider changing it back to the way it used to be. I can get fries pretty much anywhere else and I specifically came here for South American cuisine. Thankfully, the view and service really made this a more pleasant experience."

Fornos of Italy

★★★★☆ 3.8 (215) • $$

"I ordered the Cannelloni here tonight. It's my favorite dish here with the Angel Hair with Meat Sauce coming right after it. It was very delicious, flavorful in numerous ways and comforting. The pasta was very fresh and soft. The cream sauce was savory, rich and tasty. The red sauce was very tasty, runny and had a great bell pepper taste to it. The ground chicken n spinach filling was also very tasty and paired well with everything. Great, friendly service as well."

BRIX Wine Cellars

★★★★☆ 4.2 (243) • $$

"A lovely venue! Quite impressed with everything --Came here for a private event on a recent afternoon. Beautiful set up, lots of room, plenty of tasty food and wine. Staff was excellent: kind, helpful, gracious and extremely accommodating. Park in the surrounding shops area and walk to the center of this section of Vintage Park, since the entrance is accessible from a large promenade. I saw that outdoor seating was available, too, which would be great on a warm, breezy day.I had never been here before and I wasn't really sure what to expect when I arrived. Pleasantly surprised by many things.If you're looking to host a small private event (or to stop in for an appetizer and a glass of wine), this establishment should definitely be on your radar."

Salento Bistrot

★★★★☆ 3.6 (254)

"What I love about Selento's: the front patio seating! With a prime location in Rice Village, it makes for the perfect spot to people watch and enjoy the weather. Second, they have a good variety of options on their menu so it was not difficult at all to find something that hit most of my cravings!I visited for a late lunch on a lightly rainy Saturday and even sitting outside watching the rain was lovely! The patio covering was just enough.Food: I ordered the chimichurri steak which came with a side of broccoli and potatoes. I appreciated  that the steak was cooked to my liking and the potatoes were seasoned well! The meal was perfectly filling and hit the spot.Drinks: I ordered the sangria and frankly I was underwhelmed and did not finish it- I'd def. choose something else next time.Service: quick and straightforward. Loved that there was no wait.Would I recommend a visit? Absolutely! Perfect lunch or brunch spot solo or with friends/family for just about any occasion. A nice but relaxed spot with good food options."

Vinoteca Poscol

"I love this place. Alex the bartender is so sweet and he has been with the company for ten years I believe, when Dolce Vida was around. I really love the specials so I tend to order from daily specials board and they're always different. There will be an appetizer a pasta and a meat special.I really love their pizza. It is super thin and they use really fresh ingredients. I typically get the margarita, but I've tried them all in like them. They have this calamari appetizer that's unbreaded and served with I believe fava beans, and it's in a Br spicy tomato-based soup. it is so good !! it's probably my favorite thing there. They actually have a lot of veggie appetizers they make cruciferous vegetables taste really good . I really like the beets I think it served with horseradish, and I really like the roasted carrots and pistachio.Another thing that's great on the menu is the truffle egg open faced sandwich . It's very rich, but very good. Their bruschetta is very good too. You can't go wrong here.Good wines too! The prices make this place a good value!"

Ember & Greens

★★★★★ 4.5 (361) • $$

"A friend and I decided to try E&G for brunch (FYI, it's only served on the weekends). Zack was our waiter and he was pretty good. I asked for recommendations and had questions about the menu which he politely answered. He checked on us appropriately and for all of that, I tipped him handsomely. For drinks, my friend ordered a coffee, they don't have any fancy offerings there, and I went with the coffee float. It could stand to be a dollar or two cheaper for what it is. It needed more ice cream for sure with an $8 price tag, seemed more like one scoop instead of two. Now the food, we started with an app of the samosas. Now the outside was flaky, inside more mushy than I like but overall, they tasted really well. For entree, my friend ordered the roasted shakshouka which I still don't know what is inside it but she said it was good. Came with super delicious looking bacon and bfast potatoes. I decided to treat myself with the 3 lamb chops. For $44, they know they should make that an even 4 chops! The first bite was so damn delicious. It had the right amount of charring and was tender. The other two were nicely charred but the meat started feeling a bit tough. I still was eating at the bone to get my money's worth, I do not give one single solitary (you fill in the blank). Even Zack commented on it! I was like dude if you saw alladat, why you ain't sneak me another chop! The lamb chops were accompanied with garlic mashed potatoes and 3 spears of asparagus. That should have been a bigger serving, I would have asked for more but didn't think at the time."
