The Barbed Rose Steakhouse and Seafood Co.

113 E. Sealy St., Alvin Outside Houston

281-585-2272

American, Fine Dining, Steakhouse, Recommended, Menu

This fine-dining American restaurant, inspired by the Texas Gulf Coast, is located in old downtown Alvin. The restaurant is small, with only 12 tables and three booths, and the low wood ceiling makes it dark inside. The place uses local ingredients, including Texas-grown Akaushi and Wagyu beef. Try the house-made bacon and sausages and the wild game, including wild boar, antelope and venison.

Brennan's of Houston

3300 Smith St. Montrose

Creole, Fine Dining, Southern, Critics' Pick, Best Of, Menu, Slideshow, Readers' Choice

Houston institution Brennan's is back after burning to the ground during Hurricane Ike. The grande dame of Cajun cuisine is looking even better than ever, and is still a reliable place for business lunches, intimate showers, date nights and expense-account meals. Southern and Creole food reigns supreme here, with rich and buttery dishes that aren't on your Weight Watchers plan but are easily worth the extra calories. The Courtyard Bar - a new addition - is the perfect place for a lunchtime 25-cent martini, while the elegant John Staub room is cozy and quieter than the rest of the busy Midtown restaurant. The main dining room, however, is still the place to see and be seen.

Fine Dining, Restaurants, Menu

This contemporary, multi-space restaurant sits in the newly built two-story mall on Post Oak near San Felipe. The restaurant is broken up into three main sections: the Grill Room (upstairs), Bar Annie (also upstairs) and Blvd Lounge (downstairs). The Grill Room is the most upscale of the three, serving gourmet French-influenced Southwestern cuisine. Bar Annie is a step down from the Grill Room, price-wise, and Blvd Lounge is the most casual of the three, serving bar food and cocktails. Thanks to chef Robert Del Grande's celebrity status, this a destination restaurant, and most diners come in with high expectations. The former Café Annie was renamed RDG + Bar Annie and is now back to Café Annie.

The Pass

807 Taft St. River Oaks

713-628-9020

Contemporary, Fine Dining, New American, Critics' Pick

The Pass has garnered rave reviews from media outlets across the country since it opened on the border of Montrose and downtown Houston in November of 2012. It’s all well-deserved. The food is unlike anything else in Houston—small tasting plates artfully constructed that put a unique spin on otherwise familiar ingredients. The menu changes regularly, featuring dishes like a curry, pea and chanterelles spring roll or foie gras tart. But no matter the menu, every dish, from the bread in the shape of mushrooms to gourmet Dippin' Dots and Campari lollipops, is made with a bit of whimsy that turns meals into more than just eating. Dinner at The Pass is about the experience, the showmanship, the wink and nod that is at play in every little ingredient. It doesn't always work, but when it does, the meal can be, well, show-stopping. It’s no surprise the restaurant was a James Beard semifinalist for "Outstanding Service" in 2016, because that is just as exemplary here as the food.

Steak 48

4444 Westheimer River Oaks

Steakhouse, Seafood, Fine Dining, Menu

Houston’s newest luxury steakhouse, Steak 48 has opened in the left corner of the River Oaks District facing Westheimer. Co-owners Michael and Jeff Mastro designed the 14,000-square-foot, two-level Houston location to reflect its parent restaurant, Steak 44, named for its address on 44th Street in Phoenix. The “48” for this Houston location was chosen to honor Arizona, which was the 48th state to join the Union. Executive chef Jeff Taylor (formerly of Del Frisco Grille) helms the kitchen with the support of corporate lead chef Marc Lupino, curator of the original restaurant’s menu. Steak 48’s menu is extensive, offering a variety of wet-aged beef cuts, fresh seafood, chicken, pork and fish entrées and sides. The premium-quality steaks are cooked very well and the seafood is indeed fresh, but the prices are a bit on the heavy side when considering the overall dining experience. Order the Wagyu filet; it melts like “buddah,” but don’t touch the 500-degree plates; trust the waiter when he tells you they’re hot. The raw bar is a spectacular sight to behold; the shrimp are rightfully called “super-colossal,” the Alaskan king crab and lobster tails are impressively displayed alongside freshly shucked oysters and crab claws in a menagerie of glass and ice.
