The Best Restaurants and Bars in The Woodlands
"With a sleek, clubby vibe, this Monterey-style restaurant offers an upscale menu that showcases dishes prepared on a Josper grill imported from Barcelona. Standouts include shrimp and snapper ceviche dripping in ghost pepper citrus broth, chicken enchiladas, grilled rib-eye served with charred shishito peppers, and esquites — Monarca’s Mexican-style street corn salad that’s crowned with crispy leeks and queso fresco. Tequila here is a given. Choose from a long list to concoct the perfect margarita. Then, continue the fun after dinner by slipping into the restaurant’s speakeasy, Gus, which is tucked behind a nondescript door at the back of the restaurant." - Laura L.
