Elegant, chic venue featuring New American cuisine & wine
"Heights favorite Savoir has reopened its doors with a new chef-owner (whose résumé includes Lucienne, Étoile, and Brasserie du Parc) and a menu that trades the former California wine bar feel for more French-Mediterranean flavors. Expect escargot in garlic-herb butter, duck confit over Toulouse sausage and lentils, and beef cheek agnolotti with fresh black truffles, along with less fancy staples like wood-fired pizzas and burgers. The space has also been refreshed with new art and patio furniture, with plans to revive Patton’s, the hidden steakhouse in back, later on. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Brooke Viggiano
"A Heights restaurant that originally opened in 2019 underwent storm damage and pandemic-related closures before reopening with a wine bar and later evolving into multiple concepts. The operation ultimately closed in early March after the owner decided to move out of Houston, according to a social media post." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Patton’s in The Heights is a restaurant within another restaurant called Savoir. Even though you need a reservation to dine here, it's still incredibly difficult to find. Luckily, the Savoir host will lead you behind the cocktail bar, through a wine storage fridge, and into a space so dark you’ll have to wait for your eyes to adjust to avoid walking straight into a wall. From there, Patton’s functions like any other upscale steakhouse: dry-aged 36oz porterhouse cuts that cost $160, big sides, and the pomp of everything being delivered to your table on a tiny cart." - Chelsea Thomas
"Though not a wine bar per se, this charming Heights restaurant boasts one of the largest selections of wine in the city, with more than 400 options, catering to all wine drinkers whether newbies or connoisseurs. Head there for its early wine specials, which offer vino by the glass for $6 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday." - Brittany Britto Garley
"A beloved American bistro in The Heights, Savoir on Yale Street will host pre-dinner cocktails for Patton’s and runs happy hour from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends; reservations are encouraged for pre-dinner service. I also note that Savoir’s owner, Brian Doke, is slated to open a new patio cocktail bar across the street in Taqo Mexican Kitchen’s former space later this spring, though no name or further details have been released yet." - Brittany Britto Garley
