Absolutely exquisite. Remarkable. Delectable. Just wow wow wow. We went on a Friday night for a double date and hosted for the tasting menu with the wine pairings. As someone who has toured around the world and been to countless Michelin restaurants, I have to say this may be the very first time a restaurant has nailed it on every single pairing. I was deeply impressed by the presentations of the dishes and how they later told a story with each bite. I didn’t get all of the photos as they were 13 courses? Anyway, don’t hesitate, just go!

Really enjoyed my dinner here. The service was a bit spotty but the food made up for it. Really unique flavors throughout the tasting menu and the cinnamon sugar dessert was some of the best dessert in Houston. This place is worth checking out

I had an amazing first time experience at Late August the moment i entered the service was top tier. I had dinner with a girlfriend and we both loved our food. We will be back for sure! Melissa is amazing, the GM, and the chefs are so kind! I highly recommend. 10 stars if it were an option! -Kat

From the moment I walked up to the door, to the moment I walked out was hands down one of my favorite dining experiences. The hostess was so sweet and immediately recognized my reservation and wished me the most genuine happy birthday. It was a solo dinner for me, but I was never left to feel alone. Danny and Tariq were incredibly attentive and very entertaining. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and the restaurant. They knew most of the guests by name, made sure to greet and say bye to everyone. They know the menu like the back of their hand and make the best recommendations. I will absolutely be back, every chance I get.

We went to Late August when they had their valentines 3 course dinner. We had a reservation, so we did not have to wait for a table. The atmosphere and aesthetic of the interior were thoughtful and were giving fine dining vibes. Service was quick and friendly. Never did I have to wait for my drink to be refilled or have to track down a server. The chef really outdid themselves with the food. I'd highly recommend the dressed oysters and basted strip loin. But the best thing, IMO, was the dessert, chocolate 4 ways. My brain sent me back to my mom making abuelita's coco on the stove. High praise to the chefs, and I'll be coming back for brunch and dinner!
