from Houston Press - CRISP offers the perfect atmosphere for an after-work drink coupled with a solid wine and craft beer menu and friendly, attentive staff. Unfortunately, the food is inconsistent and confusing. Italian fare is reminiscent of overly seasoned Olive Garden items, while the pizza is too complicated to be appreciated for its crispy, stone-deck-fired crust. Steer clear of the creamy pasta dishes and overwrought pizza, and you'll probably find yourself enjoying a relaxing meal in the chic, modern space nestled in the Heights. Check out the daily specials, which knock a few bucks off the wine or beer during certain hours for an incredibly reasonable night out.

in my opinion, some of the best breakfast 0r lunch tacos you will find, 4 different sauces... try the Dona!!! I love the akaushi beef taco...
from the Houston Eater... "The menu at the Washington Ave location reflects the same selections available at other Tacodeli outposts. More than 40 kinds of breakfast and lunch tacos are on offer, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The tacos (available with corn, whole wheat, or flour tortillas) are stuffed with locally sourced and organic meats, veggies, and eggs."

from Fodor’s : You know you've come to a dining hot spot when you're greeted by the cement handprints of local notables outside the front doors of the ebullient La Griglia. Even after all these years (it opened in 1991), no other Houston restaurant can match its buzzy social energy. Dramatic decor, an open kitchen, imaginative and dependable food, and fair prices make this River Oaks favorite a touchstone among those in the know (and in the gossip columns). This place fills by 7 pm, so arrive early or prepare to enjoy the scenery for a while. Try the seafood cheesecake, maybe the richest appetizer in town and worth every calorie or smooth, silky shrimp bisque. Soft-shell crabs and fillet of

from Zagat: “So much more than a coffeehouse”, this Heights “hangout” also has a “fantastic” selection of beer and wine, plus a casual dining menu served in a “laid-back” setting with outdoor seating that brings “a touch of Austin” to Houston; with service that is “no-nonsense and quick” and a “friendly” vibe, it's a “go-to” for many.

from Zagat: It’s “always an adventure for the palate” at chef Tyson Cole’s Montrose outpost of his Austin original, plating “sushi creations” that are “music in your mouth” plus plenty of other “innovative, delectable” Japanese options that don’t involve raw fish; the scene – amid soft lighting and warm woods – is “impossibly hip”, and the tabs are “expensive” but “worth it”; P.S. it’s “hard to get a reservation” because most of the seats are saved for walk-ins.

from Houston Press - Where else in Houston could you see Valient Thorr, eat a near-orgasmic cheeseburger (seriously, it's kinda sexy), watch the Rockets on the tube and play a game of drunkenly dangerous darts all in the same night? Rudyard's, that's where! Located just off Waugh in the Montrose and amidst town homes and sketchy backstreets, its charm isn't manufactured or pre-packaged like all the other corporate "pubs" in town. Rudz is a product of its environment through and through, populated by our city's own indie musicians and artists. The beer menu is lively and always changing, so be sure to stop by frequently to taste some of the state's best micro-brews. Also, the bathroom wall gr
