The Hit List: New Houston Restaurants To Try Right Now

"If refined, Texas cowboys decided to open up a restaurant, it would look like Credence. The dining room is straight out of Southern Living—high ceilings and shades of hunter green find their place next to walls of vintage butcher knives. The Memorial restaurant focuses on seafood, steaks, and just about anything that can be cooked over a live fire. Keep your meal as carnivorous as possible because the best dishes at Credence involve red meat. Like the delicate parisa that features pillowy pieces of smoky beef covered in cheddar cheese and coated in egg yolk. On the weekends, you can keep your party going at their reservation-only speakeasy right next door." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
