"There’s a cozy new spot in Montrose for drinks and shareable bites like broiled Blue Point oysters covered in tamarin herb butter. After pandemic-related delays, Clique Bistro softly opened this fall at 120 Westheimer Road on the border of Montrose and Midtown. The bar is from the same owners as the also recently-opened very buzzy EaDo barbecue spot J-Bar-M Barbecue. This time, the focus is on craft cocktails and snacks from chef Justin Santellana, who taught at Culinary Institute LeNotre. He’s serving globally-influenced cuisine like citrus scallops ceviche, poke nori tacos, braised pork empanadas, and goat-cheese-topped purple roasted beets and golden pickled beets." - Adele Chapin
