I loved it! Not all of it, but most of it. Loved the interior, decor, clean fresh look. Loved the menu, there were so many things that looked good! I thought everything tasted fresh, like real ingredients. We had the avocado dip, miso soup, I had the Mediterranean Salad with chicken and Jimy had the Chopped Salad. I liked everything...but my salad. My salad was just ok, but I did like the dip and the miso soup. I can't wait to go back to try something else. So far, I'm a fan!
The good kind too, at Lowe's!
I am always alert when I happen to see a Blue Jay here in Houston, which isn't totally common, but you do see them on occasion. The empty lot across the street from my home is very wooded so we end up having a lot of rare bird sightings. I even saw a wood pecker for the first time!
This bird was so cool, it was walking around with a frog dangling from it's beak and when I got too close for comfort it flew up on this roof and tortured the frog some more and then ate it.
Here is a bird I have no idea what it is, but it sure looked cool.
Up until this year, I had never really seen Cardinals in Houston, except that one time. This year I have had more than a handful of sightings of Cardinals. Here is a shot I took last week of 2 Cardinals on my backyard fence, which is usually a spot where I see Blue Jays.
And my favorite, the Blue Jay, on my backyard fence.
Very neat sightings around town, if you pay attention. To me, always a gentle reminder of the Creator.

Love it!!
Hearsay must have been on my to do list for the last few years and I'm just now visiting for the first time. That's probably the longest check off I have to date. The building itself has a ton of character. It's a fairly small space, but super cute place. I just love brick veneer on the inside of a space, especially if it's original. For my meal, I just got a simple salad with goat cheese, add chicken. It was fine, nothing special, but staff was great, and I hope to return soon and try something more extravagant, maybe. The last photo is a piece I happen to observe in the stone implanted into the concrete in front of the restaurant...character.
Why?
Some "Strong Coffee"!
Interesting experience, but I'm still hungry!
Is very convenient when eating vegetarian, but so hard to be good and skip dessert!
Best iced latte I think I've ever had!
We were really impressed with this quaint and casual restaurant. The Marie's salad, Mac n Cheese, and my roasted chicken, that chicken skin was sooo good! But more than everything else the service was the best thing about Marie's! We're not from around here so we always forget about the BYOB and Carl went and got us a bottle, now that is service!
This one has been on my to do list for several month's. It has a great thing going for it, its location! I hadn't heard much buzz about it, but because of its location, I would always make a mental note to check it out everytime I passed it. It's the same family as the Carrabba's family, actually an homage to Johnny Carrabba's mom, I heard. The restaurant is supposed to give you the feel of being in her home, our server "Louis" said. When I walked in, I told Matt it was cozy like being in someone's house!
It wasn't really that crowded for a 5 month old restaurant. We were told there was much more traffic earlier on. Our server was the consummate professional! He changed our napkins to black, matching my skirt, without me even having to ask! That is attention to detail! He was definitely a pro, you could tell he's an experienced server, but yet very friendly and engaging. In honesty, I think we enjoyed him more than we did the food! However, the food was great too!
I ordered the Wagyu burger "Gracie's Burger" with the Beer Battered Fries. Matt got the Filet with Broccolini. I had blogged about the Wagyu beef at BFD and someone had suggested I try the Wagyu burger at Gracie's and although it was good, it wasn't great. The fries were great because they were crispy and seasoned well and surprisingly stayed warm the entire time, how that happened is beyond me. We also ordered the Garden Salad with the alternate vinaigrette and the carrot cake. All really good, especially that carrot cake, with that warm giz drizzled over it! We also got to try the Godiva freeze, pretty tasty, tasted like a frozen Bailey's Irish Cream cocktail. Our experience was excellent! If you go, definitely ask for "Louis"!
Sorry for the blurry photos, it's been awhile since I took the old Nikon out and I'm a little out of practice!
