Houston Seafood Restaurant Reef Makes a Triumphant Comeback Today - Eater Houston

"Nearly two years after a deluge of water caused by Hurricane Harvey forced beloved Houston seafood restaurant Reef to close, it’s making a triumphant comeback to the city’s dining scene this week. The restaurant announced on Thursday that it would throw the doors open for lunch service on Friday for the first time since it was forced to close in September 2017. As Eater reported back then, the damage to the restaurant’s space in Midtown was damaged extensively, forcing owners Bryan and Jennifer Caswell to give the space a major revamp. Over the past few weeks, Reef has hosted 'friends and family' services to prepare for its official comeback. The Reef will be serving more than 90 different, freshly-caught seafood species that come straight from the Gulf. If the restaurant’s recent pop-up at Third Bar, the bar adjacent to Reef, is any indication, diners can at least expect chef Bryan Caswell’s famed barbecue crab." - Amy McCarthy
