Our à la carte menu is always there for you when you just want to bop around the menu for a few cold bites, some crunchy tomato toast and maybe to share a rich Wagyu ribeye. But we also offer an option for us in to choose what’s our favorite dishes on the menu at the time and layer it in 6 or 7 courses. Just let us know, we’ll take the reins.

OUR NEW MELON DISH is like that welcome blast of AC in the summer, the cold marble at your favorite bar, or that first cannonball into the pool out of this forsaken, muggy Houston weather. It’s hot out, so Frank Hermosilla’s new melon dish is served COLD and juicy, with fragrant spices, oils and flowers, dressed with bergamot and finished with a serrano infused rice vinegar. He rotate melons nightly to find the sweetest and most aromatic of the season— the kitchen’s favorite season of the year. We have seats this evening, come join us tonight!

Well, a phase fell off of the electrical for the building just as we were getting into service. So, we’ll be closed this evening, unfortunately. BUT we’re assured that CenterPoint Energy is on the move and will be getting us back up late this evening and we’ll be ready to rock for tomorrow. Please go visit one of the rest of the family Squable and Better Luck Tomorrow. We hear the new potato salad at Squabs is killer, or just go with the ol classic burger and a Pina Colada at BLT.

Come see us this week— summertime means all your favorite restaurants are hoping to see you soon!

TOMATO TOAST SEASON now only happens when we can get tomatoes grown in the field from our nearby farms. It’s difficult to say how long the season will be, but these cherry tomatoes from Harvest Green in Richmond, TX have been fabulous this last week and we hope the heat will hold off up so we can have tomato toast on the menu for a few more weeks.

Tomato Toast was what this restaurant was borne from: the idea that you can do something simple, even though it’s so layered and not simple. We make a rye pain di mie, toast it in butter, rub it with garlic and serve it schmeared with a deeply intense fondant of tomatoes, squash and fermented pepper. It’s served with a pile of lightly dressed raw tomatoes and just the amount of herbs that you want. It’s that perfect cross section between bruschetta and pan con tomate, with just maybe a little more.

It’s on the menu til it’s not, swing on by tonight for Monday dinner!
