"This Heights staple from long-time Heights resident Lee Ellis and his partner in crime, Culinary Director Lance Fegen, serves up fresh fish, steaks and more, cooked over an applewood-burning grill. Liberty Kitchen also boasts a wide range of oysters sourced from the East, West, and Gulf coasts." - Manready Mercantile
"With two locations in Houston, Liberty is a top pick for comforting seafood dishes and plenty of plates to share, including oysters, fried buttermilk lobster bites, and steamed mussels. Start with the rich lobster bisque and Liberty’s “slab” iceberg wedge-style salad, and be sure to inquire about the specials, which often feature a special preparation of the catch of the day." - Brittany Britto Garley
"For $299, you can let Liberty Kitchen do the cooking. The restaurant’s holiday package for four to six people comes complete with hand-carved herb-roasted turkey, green bean casserole, Boursin mashed potatoes, green bean casserole with oyster mushrooms, oyster stuffing, and Parker rolls with bacon jam and agave butter. Additional sides can be purchased a la carte for $45 each. Pre-orders can be placed through Sunday, November 24, with pick-up available on Tuesday, November 26, or Wednesday, November 27." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The Deal: Three-course dinner at $55 per person. Two-course lunch or brunch for $29 per person. Why We Like It: Somehow Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette, a seafood restaurant in River Oaks, managed to squeeze generous courses of parmesan-crusted chargrilled oysters, blackened redfish with jumbo lump crab, and white chocolate raspberry bread pudding as options (yes, there’s more!) on its three-course HRW menu. We don’t know how they did it, but we might swing by every week." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"The dry ice budget at Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette, a seafood restaurant at the edge of River Oaks, must be astronomical. Every tray of oysters (either raw or chargrilled) or pillared seafood tower is served in a thick cloud of icy smoke. Once the bubbling cauldron cools off, condiments like cocktail sauce with fresh horseradish, are revealed. You can even throw a few fried oysters on top of their vegan kale salad, because no one will tell you you can’t." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
