Houston Restaurant Weeks: Oceanaire Seafood Room

Oceaniare Dining Room This past weekend we celebrated my friend Leeann's birthday at Oceaniare Seafood Room. If you recall, Oceanaire was on my list of places to go for Houston Restaurant Weeks so I was excited about this pick! We had a larger group so we were seated in a semi private area to the side of the main dining room. The restaurant printed up personalized menus with "Happy Birthday Leeann!" for everyone. They even put a ribbon on one and gave to my friend as a souvenir. I thought that was a great touch! Personalized menu for the birthday [...]

Birthday Brunch!

To celebrate my birthday, I invited several friends out to a Saturday brunch at Union Kitchen. As you can imagine, the girls in my life also love a good brunch, so it seemed like the appropriate choice. Of course I had a great time with my girls! Not quite 30, yet but this still seems fitting HAHAHA! The Setup: Urban Kitchen has several locations in Houston. This location is on Bellaire in a crowded shopping center. It's right next to Dr. Nowzaradan office. He's the doctor on TLC's show My 600 pound life. I actually say a film [...]

June Foodie Group: Gloria’s Latin Cuisine

For this month's foodie group/birthday celebration for one of my friends, we went to Gloria's Latin Cuisine Restaurant. Let me start by saying that Tex-Mex is huge in Houston. There are variations of Mexican restaurants and Tex-Mex restaurants literally on every corner here. With so many options, everyone I know calls a different Tex-Mex/Mexican restaurant their favorite. Due to so many options, it is hard for a restaurant to stand out to me in this cuisine area. Many of my friend's call Gloria's their favorite and on my first two visits I really did not understand why. I reluctantly went [...]

Second Time’s A Charm

In August 2013, my foodie group began at a locally black owned restaurant named Lucille’s for a birthday dinner for one of my co-workers. Leading up to our dinner, we had been tickled over a harsh review in the Houston Chronicle, where the owner took to the comments section to defend his baby. Despite the forewarnings, we made the trek to the Museum District to partake in Lucille’s Restaurant Weeks menu. The few things that were good, were GOOD and what was bad was BAD. The bad things have a way of outweighing the good things and we ultimately walked [...]

Starting a Supper Club/ Foodie Group

My foodie group :) Anyone who loves to eat out like me needs to be a member of a supper club or a foodie group! Mine started organically during Houston's Restaurant Week in 2013. A few co-workers and I went to dinner for one of the lady's birthday. We had so much fun we decided to make it a monthly thing. Here is how it works for us: 1) Reservations are a must, use Open Table It just makes life easier trust me. Many of the restaurants we venture to prefer reservations for one, and it means there [...]
