3 Houston Restaurants to Try This Weekend: June 6 | Eater Houston

"A must-visit for a Houston dining education, this live-fire restaurant from Chef Levi Goode celebrates Texas cuisine with every dish touching the fire. The open kitchen showcases a custom 12-foot hearth and wood-fire oven that cooks over Texas woods and coals, producing a fire-roasted seafood tower, hearth-roasted tuna, mesquite- and post oak–grilled steaks, half-chickens and a cast-iron pan de campo. Signature moments include a whole Sweetwater duck for two that slow-roasts over the hearth and is served tableside with heirloom dirty rice, deviled crabs on the half-shell dripping with smoky tomato butter, and a show-stopping coconut cream pie with toasted coconut, shaved chocolate and burnt meringue. The service includes theatrical cart presentations for salads and desserts, and guests can finish the night in the slick sister speakeasy for cocktails and live music." - Brittany Britto Garley
