CN was one of the highlights of our Houston trip. The food was excellent from start to finish, and the service matched it. We ordered the Spanish octopus, Cinco Jotas ham, croquettes, patatas bravas, and the suckling pig. The octopus was especially good, perfectly cooked and one of the best dishes of the night. The Cinco Jotas ham was also outstanding, and the suckling pig was rich, tender, and beautifully prepared. Even the potatoes and croquettes felt carefully executed rather than like afterthoughts. The restaurant itself is elegant without feeling stuffy, and the service was attentive, knowledgeable, and well paced. It felt like a special dinner but still relaxed enough to really enjoy the evening. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Houston and enjoy Spanish food. We would absolutely return

Ricotta cheese with warm honey and bread melted in my mouth, followed by the Rigatoni alla vodka was just heavenly! With some sorbetto for desert and a nice glass of wine, it was the perfect meal! Staff was extra friendly and helpful as well!

Fantastic night at Goode Company Kitchen and Cantina. Arguably the best Tex-Mex Houston. Food was high quality and margaritas were excellent. High light of the night though was our server AJ. He was exceptional. When we go back we will request to sit in his tables.

Thanks to our waitress/sommelier, Mark and Sydney, our experience was outstanding. Food is great, wonderful selection and service incredible. The inside of the restaurant is much prettier but we chose to sit in the sunroom. Nice room but nothing special and that was our choice to sit there. We'll definitely be coming back and can't wait for better weather so we can sit outside.
