Maize - The Energy Corridor, Houston

Food was mediocre for an upscale place such as this. Asked for the heater next to our patio table to be turned on, it was not operational. Seemed like the restaurant was not quite prepared for NYE service. Wait staff were awesome.

Maize is my absolute favorite restaurant. Everything I have tried there is too notch. Chef Fabian's attention to detail and the high quality of all the ingredients makes each dish truly unforgettable. Highly recommend the flautas de puerco, churros, and flan.

Tables around us received their food promptly. The waiter was very friendly and talkative with the people dining next to us. Wish we would have gotten the same treatment. Food took over 30 mins to arrive.

We went to the special dinner for Christmas Eve. The Prix Fixe menu was interesting and varied. There were 4 of us. Most opted for red snapper in a polblano sauce. It was absolutely delicious. There was on dark mole tenderloin, cooked as requested and also delicious. The salads were complex and huge. Lobster/crab bisque was good, but not as outrageously good as the other courses. Best appetizer, baked oysters, Excellent flavor and balance and the presentation was beautiful. Chocolate mousse cake outstanding, bread pudding OK and rum raisin ice cream also tasty finished off the four courses. We'll be back
