  “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 …”

  “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.”

  “We had an amazing time! The food and drinks were so delicious and high quality, our waiter was so kind and attentive, and the atmosphere of the place was so nice! Plus, when we had to leave early they were willing to pack our dessert to go and still decorated/presented it beautifully for us! It was so nice! We definitely will be returning!”

  “My husband and I went to Potente for the first time during Houston Restaurant Week. We ordered: Latugga (caesar salad) Burrata Branzino (sea bass with veggies) Filettino di Manzo (filet with mashed potatoes) Spaghetti al Tartufo Nero (truffle cacio pepe; extra $20 to add to your meal) Cafe Cioccolato (chocolate cake) Limone Pavlova They also start with an amuse bouche of hummus. I was blown away by the pavlova. I have not been able to stop thinking about it since I ate it. It was sweet, tart, soft, crunchy, fruity and light. It was a masterpiece. The crunchy pavlova added amazing texture with a scoop of cold lemon sorbet and the lovely fruit mixture. This dessert is probably the best dessert I’ve had in my life, including desserts from Michelin restaurants. It’s probably not for everyone, but I thought it was perfect. All the other dishes were solid. I ordered the Caesar salad, but wish I ordered my husband’s burrata instead. It was surrounded by beautifully fresh tomatoes drizzled with balsamic vinegar. It wasn’t your typical heavy burrata with bread. It was fresh, like a garden. The mains were solid but I’m definitely not as obsessed with them. I think the branzino would do better over a risotto with larger vegetables, but it was still cooked well. I plan to come back just for the pavlova… but I would be happy to come back to enjoy a a full meal again :)”

  “Came here during a happy hour. Was able to experience the pasta and slider. Both were phenomenal. Loved the tenderness of the pasta and the truffles elevated it to new heights. Burger was well seasoned and thoroughly enjoyed by me and my guests. Would definitely come back.”

  “Potente is phenomenal food experience. We happened upon it during Houston Restaurant Week and aren’t we glad we did! We had an artichoke humus, shrimp risotto and octopus for appetizer. I ordered the truffle pasta and my wife had the steak. …”
