An elegant seafood and steak eatery near the Galleria featuring live music seven nights a week. The digs are very posh but not oppressively so. It's classy and romantic with a piano bar and a fantastic wine list. They even have an assortment of very large Koi swimming in a 40 foot pool by the front window (sorry, they're not on the menu). Artistic director is the ever-swinging attorney/pianist Ken Ward.
