   This is a gem of a restaurant! Everything that comes out of the kitchen is expertly crafted. Flavor & presentation are top notch. Great job, brothers.

   The food was wonderful. Had the salmon and it was outstanding. The lobster bisque was excellent but lukewarm. Prefer a much hotter temperature. The service was not attentive. Server only had 2 tables and yet was absent as though he had the entire restaurant to serve. He completely forgot the drink I ordered and had to be reminded. Didn’t check to see if our orders were correct after the food was brought out by another server. And was simply not very available so we had to send someone to get him for any questions.

   This was a profoundly disappointing experience. Our waitress, Gavi (Gabriela), was uncommonly dismissive and inattentive. When she inquired, we informed her that this dinner was a 50th birthday celebration for a dear friend. She promptly dismissed it even after we reminded her, as we were finishing our dinner, to mark the occasion with a birthday song, as it is customary for the restaurant. Unacceptable.

   This could actually be very cool. The ambiance is quite nice. Would totally return based on that. But truth be told, the food was not good. Had a ceviche trio. Shrimp and fish was good. Octopus was tough though. At that point, we had already ordered the octopus for a main entre too. which we shouldn't have, because (at that point predictably) it was tough also. We also had a beef tartare, and that was also of the quality I had hoped. The mean was pretty rough and chewy and just not very flavorful. Maybe just unlucky. Ambiance and service were good. I may give it another try, but the food quality didn't put that high on my list.

   Overall a good experience. Food and service was on point. Unlike other establishments who enforce a time limit, we never felt rushed.

   Enjoyable French bistro with an Equadorian touch. We dine there frequently when visiting Houston.

   Had a perfect thanksgiving dinner at Maison Pucha. Everyone had something different, i indulged in the turkey plate, which dare I say it, was better than the traditional thanksgiving dinner at home and we are good cooks. The steak frites were outstanding, as they always are. And the lobster bisque was tasty and beautifully presented. Maison Pucha never fails to deliver excellent food and outstanding service.

    Beautiful restaurant with great food and service. It is a quiet place to talk and enjoy a good meal. The menu was varied and filled with tempting offerings. Service was excellent and anticipated our needs. This is a rare find!
