"A standout addition to the Memorial dining scene, Credence and its speakeasy sister Sidebar, owned and operated by Houston’s Goode Co. restaurant group, offer a distinctive two-in-one experience. At Credence, diners are treated to an unapologetically Texan menu focused on live-fire cooking, with standouts like the seafood tower with oysters, Alaskan king crab, and Gulf crab claws and the Sweetwater duck for two, the latter slow-roasted over mesquite wood and served with heirloom dirty rice. The adjacent Sidebar is a reservations-only speakeasy that exudes vintage luxury, where guests can sip bold cocktails and enjoy roasted oysters with caviar in a plush, 1930s-influenced ambiance." - Marcy de Luna, Megha McSwain
