"This Heights establishment has been a port of call for wine enthusiasts for years. Still, a recent rebrand has expanded its menu offerings to transform it into a more neighborhood-friendly destination. Now, kids and dogs are on the invite list, making Mutiny’s charming, covered patio an ideal place to gather for plates such as Sicilian meatballs and steak frites on summer nights. The thoughtfully curated wine list is still a draw, now joined by a selection of local beers." - Brianna Griff
"Why have just one steak when you can have three? Mutiny Wine Room’s steak night, which is hosted from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, offers a steak flight with three 3-ounce beefy cuts. For $35, diners can enjoy a bottom sirloin steak served with grilled onion jam and fried garlic chips, a flat iron steak that’s been panseared in truffle butter, and a Teres Major steak served with a grilled cabernet reduction. Choose between a host of sides like truffle Parmesan steak fries and broccolini gratin, and consider a wine pairing. Need help? Ask for a suggestion from an onsite wine expert." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Space City meets Napa Valley at this gorgeous Heights tasting room, which harbors some of the rarest bottles in all of Texas. Home to the Farmhouse, wine enthusiasts can also enjoy a Sonoma-style tasting experience with exquisite food pairings or opt for a la carte dining with dishes like caviar-topped hush puppies, goat cheese gnocchi, and focaccia pizza. Enjoy some of its newer additions, which include a 2014 cabernet sauvignon from Sonoma’s Laurel Glen Vineyard and a Brunello di Montalcino from il Cocco, Italy." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Inspired by the tasting rooms of Napa Valley, Mutiny Wine Room pairs boutique wines from around the globe and a seasonal-focused menu with an atmospheric indoor and outdoor space. Mutiny takes every opportunity to spotlight new producers, and welcomes guests to taste and learn about their featured winemakers by way of events like this spring’s winemaker series, which explored wine regions like Spain, Oregon, and Washington." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Inspired by the tasting rooms of Napa Valley, this California cuisine hotspot serves up a weekly $38 paella special on Sundays. Available through reserved seatings at either 1 p.m., 4 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. only. Its seasonal Valenciana mixta paella is cooked over a live fire and can be served with an optional Spanish wine pairing for $15."
