My only recommendation would be to ensure your staff are welcoming upon arrival. Several of your team members (although helpful when engaged) saw us yet never acknowledged or welcomed us. We stood at the podium, waiting to get welcomed yet no one took the initiative until we walked in to address them. Overall - everything was great and the birthday celebration was enjoyed.

Tipping Point is such aa great place for drinks with a friend, dinner with a date, or lunch with co-workers. Located inside Hotel Zaza in the heart of memorial city mall community. Food and drinks have never disappointed me. :) Thank you Tipping Point!

It was the first time me and my boyfriend dined at Tipping Point. When we were looking for brunch spots on a Sunday, this restaurant was on the top of the list. We did what every customer does, we read the reviews and looked at the pictures. The pictures are GORGEOUS, people's food photos yummy. It was a no brainer we were going to Tipping Point for brunch. Let me tell you from the moment we drove up to the front door of ZaZa it was constant pampering!! We drove around looking for parking and finally found out that there is ONLY valet parking. If you are dining at the restaurant the valet is complimentary... 5 STARS on that alone...lol. Then we get inside and it was more gorgeous than the photos. I am an Interior Designer and this was a designers dream. The colors and the attention to details are mesmerizing, it was like pieces of a puzzle coming together with such harmony and unity, with a touch of rhythm. If you're a designer then you get where I'm coming from. Now onto the food.... HUGE COMPLIMENTS to our server, Rosetta (I'm sorry about the spelling) she suggested the best meals to select. I had the French toast with Brandy Brioche and my boyfriend had the All American Breakfast with two amazing caramel lattes, made by our server. The food was delicious and fulfilling. tasty with beautiful colors on a plate. Overall the experience at Tipping Point was stellar. If you want delicious food and would like be pampered even before you walk through the door, then Tipping Point is the place you want to be for a superb brunch. We will be returning again for brunch!

The waiter, hostess and bartender were all friendly. The restaurant was clean and there was no issue with noise, but the food was mediocre at best. I would expect more from a higher end boutique hotel restaurant… I would say this food would be comparable to a Chili’s or Applebees, but with super inflated pricing

We thought we would give this neighborhood gem a try for dinner, as we had enjoyed drinks there before. Unfortunately, we hit it on an off night. The music was muffled and unintelligible. The lollipop lamb chops and the snapper were very good. The energy was just missing that night. We will try it again.

I chose this restaurant because their holiday menu included lobster bisque, my husband's favorite. The soup had not even one morsel of lobster. The ambience was pretty much hotel coffee shop. Don't waste your time.

I have a big birthday party for my husband that weekend and the event was fabulous we had the best wait staff and service all night. So, I was extremely disappointed that the service staff in the restaurant was nothing like the 5th floor staff. We waited an extraordinary amount of time after sitting down to garner our waiter's attention. He never came back to check on us so that we could order our meals. I tried to flag down other staff who did not appear to be doing anything but I was ignored. The only positive thing about the restaurant was the actual quality of the food.

Service and staff always great. Only problem with this restaurant is if there’s a group celebrating by the bar - usually group office drinks it seems - you can’t hear anything while sitting in the restaurant and lose your voice from yelling to each other. The only thing that will make me hesitant to return. And I thought we were safe going on a Tuesday! All 6 people in our party thought the same.

Amazing. I love the relaxed feel of this place. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The open faced steak sandwhich and breaded chicken with mashed potatoes was excellent. The table was in front of pool which was what we love . Service was well-timed and friendly, drinks were affordable and STRONG.

We at the hotel for family overnight celebrating our anniversary. It happened to be the night of the Halloween party. We did not know about that when we booked our room. Staff was readying the restaurant for the party while we were dining. It was also Astros playoffs and that was the only public tv to watch the game. We ended up going back up to our room after the game to watch the movie. Food was Ok. Staff was nice and attentive. Music was LOUD.

We dined here last year during our stay at ZaZa and ordered off of the Valentines Day specialty dinner menu. I would rate our initial visit 5 stars across the board; food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch and well-worth the price point. This most recent visit, though enjoyable, did not hold a candle to our first experience. We ordered off of the regular dinner menu this time. We had spinach/artichoke dip and lamb lollipops for appetizers, followed by the filet and scallops for entree. The menu seems unimaginative and the quality of the food, though fair, was not quite worth the price tag. The scallops entree, though beautiful, was not very substantial - 4 seared jumbo scallops with a handful of carrots, snap peas, and mushrooms (chanterelle, I think?). Was surprised that the dish did not include a starch. Ordered a side of the volcano salt fries. They were basic shoestring fries served with ketchup and a thin ranch dip. Server was very kind and attentive and the food arrived promptly. The busser seemed overeager to clear our plates. I would say compared to our last visit, the service felt a tad less refined and more like a casual dining experience. In their defense, we did visit on a slow Monday night, so perhaps that was a contributing factor to some of these gripes.

I ordered a steak and the waiter didn't even ask which oz steak I wanted. I waited till he brought it and it was the 4 oz., the small one. We had to ask the drinks to be refilled. My friend's steak was medium rare when she specifically asked for it to be done well done.
