Our server was very nice, I felt bad for him since he can't be making very much money as there were only a few tables in the whole restaurant and when we went there was only one other table occupied. We read really good reviews and had high hopes however we were worried as soon as the stale bread came out. The menu was very small and we wanted to try the cheese plate, a staple of ours for fancy date nights. We got it and the grapes looked amazing, the pita bread was warm but also not fresh-likely from a bag and the cheese left a LOT to be desired. The portion was large but each of the three cheeses were indistinguishable. Each was nearly the same texture and was not good quality. We had plan...
Made Mother's day reservation for the brunch...arrived with mom excited, valet parked, walked in and they had CANCELED THE MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH due to low reservations. I never received a call. I was LIVID AND EMBARRASSED. The waiter Tilman and the Front desk manager was our saving grace. That's why I rated the service. They help make situation better by giving us grilled chicken and turkey wrap with dessert. Hotel Icon has changed. New ownership and it's horrible. The entire spirit has changed. Used to be one of the top hotels in Houston....that is of the past. Never again!!!!
We arrived at the restaurant for our 6:00pm reservation at 6:02pm. The hostess stand was empty and there were no waiters in sight. We waited until 6:17pm and still no one had appeared. The hotel concierge was unhelpful and seemed disinterested in the situation. Ultimately, we decided to eat at the bar instead. Fortunately, Ed the bartender provided excellent service. In the future, I would recommend skipping the restaurant and heading straight to the bar.
My wife, one of our friends and I had a very pleasant dinner at Line Lariat before the symphony. Our friend had just a Cobb salad but it was a dinner sized portion and he enjoyed it. My wife had a cup of chicken tortilla soup and I the gumbo. We then split the redfish entree. All were tasty and prepared properly with fish cooked just right; they also served our split entree on two plates.

The menu at this restaurant is extremely limited. Despite not being able to get reservations at our preferred time, the restaurant was nearly empty with only one other table occupied. The rolls were terrible, seemingly microwaved and so tough they were impossible to bite into. The food was mediocre at best and not something I would recommend. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
The Line Lariat was good. It had the trappings of a hotel restaurant however an overly formal dining room, too quiet and therefore too much awareness of the conversations at adjacent tables, and a relatively safe menu. The meal was well prepared, and was welcome to save me the trouble of going out during my stay at the hotel.
The waiter didn't seem to be normally a waiter. Barely spoke two words to us. Food was good for a fair price. Restaurant was very empty for being in the more active areas of Houston.
The dining room in the beautiful old world bank interior glowed with lots of gold leaf embellishments. Food was very good and service was excellent. Would dine here again.
