"While it isn’t technically within Houston city limits, Pier 6 in San Leon is frequented by plenty of Houstonians aching for dinner (and lunch or brunch) with a view. The waterfront restaurant offers stunning Gulf views from its vast dining room and sprawling outdoor patio and bar, and an abundance of seafood delights to pair with Insta-worthy frozen cocktails. The oysters are the star of the show here, with its Hot Blooded version served broiled with zesty garlic, Sriracha, and habanero butter. Diners can also enjoy a standout fried seafood platter, lobster rolls, and pecan-crusted redfish. Unwind out on the swing chairs that overlook the pier." - Brittany Britto Garley
