Last night my family and I had dinner at Potente before a show at Jones Hall. The food was excellent as was the service. My daughter, (9yo), couldn’t get over the shrimp bisque. It really was outstanding. The wagyu carpaccio and grilled octopus starters were perfection and the pasta with fresh truffle shavings was absolutely decadent. We can’t wait to return to Potente soon! Thanks so much for the hospitality, Chef Trace.

It is a rare joy to dine at a restaurant where 'fantastic' is the baseline for every single dish. Chef Danny creates something memorable. From the first course to the final bite, this was a masterclass in culinary balance. Every dish felt intentional, featuring incredibly fresh ingredients that were elevated by a brilliant play of textures. The flavors don't just sit on the palate; they burst and evolve. It is rare to find a kitchen that maintains this level of consistency across an entire menu. In my opinion, it’s only a matter of time before the Michelin inspectors take notice. Truly an elite experience. A special thanks to Juan who kept our glasses filled w water, Emily who balanced her role as bar tender and waitress, Andrea & his fellow Somelier( didnt catch his name, young Hispanic gentleman) who recommended a beautiful bottle of wine that paired with our meal. And of course Chef Danny!

Potente is next level, food, service, and a quiet atmosphere to truly enjoy your meal. I’ve been several times and it always impresses me. The spaghetti is a must. The tequila flight is truly divine. Don’t sleep on this place. Special occasion or just an enjoyable dinner it’s worth the trip. You won’t ever forget this dining experience.

Came here for our anniversary, wanting great food and a romantic atmosphere. This place did not disappoint. Service was smooth and friendly from start to finish. The food came out fast and everything was amazing. This isn’t a cheap place, but it was 100% worth the splurge. Definitely a place I would come back to and recommend.

Came here with my wife to celebrate Valentine's a little early, and we would highly recommend! All of the food was excellent. The truffle fries came out well-salted, crisp, and piping hot and you could actually taste truffle. The truffle pasta was well-seasoned, and cooked to just the right texture. My wife got the scallops and they had an excellent sear on them. I got the beef rib with risotto which was incredibly tender. Everything here was well-seasoned and came out hot and fresh, something that we really appreciate. I didn't get our server's name, but he had great recommendations and was very attentive. They also have a happy hour menu which is nice, because it is fairly pricey.
