4 Houston Restaurants to Try This Weekend: April 18 | Eater Houston

"A newer River Oaks dining room recognized as a top new restaurant, offering a polished menu with a strong raw bar and classic, well-executed steaks (the New York strip is recommended). The truffle anglotti is a signature pasta dish, and an inventive lineup of four Old Fashioned cocktails—including an Elvis-inspired take—adds playful variety. Desserts are a highlight: alongside a mille-feuille with caramelized apples, there are two impressive soufflés (chocolate and orange-ginger); the orange-ginger soufflé, served with cream poured tableside, delivers a bright ginger zing and citrus lift that many find perfectly sized to finish solo. A nearby historic theater offers the option to pair dinner with a film." - Brittany Britto Garley
