About the restaurant

Discreetly located within Four Seasons Hotel Houston, Bandista is an intimate, modern-day speakeasy, reminiscent of a 1920s lounge that dazzles with a decadent Latin vibe. Guests of the 20-seat bar and lounge enjoy inventive and artistic interpretations of classic and contemporary cocktails, as well as rare spirits from around the world. Bandista's eight bar seats provide a center-stage show of the cocktail laboratory, where guests connect with the city's most talented bartenders and other discreet guests.

We were greeted in a very timely manner when we entered. Our drink order was taken promptly and the food was very good. The only negative was the slow arrival of our dinner entrées. When we arrived, there was no more than 20 customers. Our entrées were a flat bread and a rare steak. It was slightly over an hour from walking in to receiving our food. The food was very good, but based on the slow pace, I probably won't be going back in the near future.
