Restaurants
Federal American Grill - We went here on our first date! Known for its extensive whiskey selection and modern takes on American comfort food, it's one of our favorite spots in town. Their cheeseburger eggrolls are a must.
The Original Lupe Tortilla - In our opinion, the best Tex-Mex spot in Houston. Be sure to visit the original location off Highway 6! It is located about 20 minutes away from the St. Regis, but well worth the drive.
Goode Company Cantina - Fajitas and margs! The Heights location is our go-to Tex-Mex restaurant inside the loop.
Armandos - Another Tex-Mex staple, but more of a fancy, white tablecloth vibe. On Thursday evenings, the dining room transforms into a nightclub! Reservations recommended.
Truth BBQ - Central Texas-style BBQ that earned a Bib Gourmand in the Texas Michelin Guide. Known for perfectly smoked meats and classic sides, it’s a must-try for BBQ lovers. Be sure to get there early—the line moves fast!
Tiny Boxwoods - A cute neighborhood spot known for its fresh, seasonal dishes and inviting garden vibe. Perfect for brunch or lunch—don’t miss their famous chocolate chip cookies!
Brasserie 19 - Sophisticated French brasserie with “New American" influences. Great for outdoor brunch - oysters, wine, and people-watching!
Carrabba’s, The Original on Voss - Authentic, made-from-scratch Italian dishes. A true Houston gem that’s completely different from the chain and well-worth a visit, trust us!
Tiny Champions- A trendy spot in EaDo serving up some of the best wood-fired pizzas and cocktails in town. The laid-back patio is perfect for a casual night out. Their hot honey pizza is our favorite.
Uchiko - This upscale Japanese hotspot is known for its omakase, cool tastings, and high-end sushi. They do take limited walk-ins, but a reservation is best!
Clark’s Oyster Bar - A stylish seafood spot with a breezy, coastal vibe. Known for fresh oysters, creative cocktails, and a menu perfect for a leisurely lunch or dinner.
Hudson House- A chic, East Coast-inspired restaurant known for its fresh seafood, oysters, and signature martinis. A perfect spot for lunch or cocktail hour.
Relish- A charming neighborhood bistro offering elevated American dishes, craft cocktails, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. We love their brunch menu!
