The menu features house-made pasta, seasonal ingredients, and signature dishes like Flaming Salt Crust Snapper and the indulgent Battle Axe Course. Alongside caviar and tasting menus, Kate’s creations merge her free spirit with the formal tradition instilled by her mentor, Tony Vallone.

Kiran's
Price: Very Expensive•Indian•4.9(2,866)James Beard semi-finalist for Best Chef Texas and Top Chef Season 19 judge Kiran Verma, considered the ‘godmother of Indian fine dining,’ has created world-class north Indian cuisine at her eponymous restaurant. Come and enjoy good food and great service in a fabulous environment.
Signature dishes include rack of lamb with aloo methi, Chilean sea bass with mango chutney, chicken tikka masala and a vegetarian thali. Specialty cocktails range from the Jahangir Lassi (house-infused pineapple rum, passion fruit, mango lassi, pistachio) to a Chai Old Fashioned to a Cardamom Basil Gin & Tonic.
The restaurant serves Afternoon Tea every Friday, Saturday and Sunday - a four-course Indian and English tea experience. Chef Kiran has created her own chai blend.Goode Co. Seafood - Westpark
Price: Moderate•Seafood•4.7(936)Jim Goode's love of seafood was born from a childhood spent along the sun-soaked Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast. It was this love for coastal dishes, Cajun flavors and time spent together that Jim passed down to his own kids - and to the plates still on our menu today.
Fresh food speaks for itself - so we don't send ours swimming in heavy sauces. Instead, our daily Gulf catch is grilled over mesquite or lightly battered and fried golden. It's this tasteful preparation that leads to mouthwatering plates worth diving into.
Piled high with shrimp and crab meat, our famous Campechana gets its kick from a special blend of pico de gallo, fire-roasted Anaheim peppers and diced avocadoes. Pair it with tortilla chips or saltines and wash it all down with a cold one. Specialty cocktails, beer and wine served daily. Times and offerings vary by location.
Grace's
Price: Expensive•American•4.7(4,458)Brunch on Saturday and Sunday is primarily first come, first served. If you do not see the time you want available online, please call us directly.
When owner Johnny Carrabba set out on his next restaurant venture, he knew his vision would include the fond memories he had of his dear grandmother Grace Mandola. Grace, also known to the family as Mama, was a Sicilian woman born to immigrant parents in Louisiana. She had a flair for cooking, hospitality, and deep faith.
She was known to make bread from scratch every Saturday for her legendary three-hour Sicilian Sunday lunches; and, her newly established family roots in Louisiana added interesting flavors to her home cooked meals. The entire Mandola family, including her five children and fourteen grandchildren, was regularly greeted in her home with smells of warm bread, well brewed sauces and homemade soups. It was around her table that her family learned the true meaning and value of relationships, friendships and good food.MaKiin
Price: Very Expensive•Thai•4.6(417)The ultimate culinary journey at our award-winning Thai fine dining restaurant, where our masterful chef's innovative and unparalleled creations are sure to impress. With numerous accolades and awards, our chef uses only the finest and freshest ingredients to create culinary experiences like no other.

There’s something about a nice juicy burger that makes it the perfect craveable dish — maybe because it’s a handheld meal that’s ideal for curing ailments like extreme hunger and hangovers. With so many combinations from meat to cheese to toppings and style of bun, no two burgers are the same — and nor should they be. Fortunately, in the Magic City there’s no shortage of delicious, mouthwatering burgers to sink your teeth into. From secret sauces to secret locations there’s always a new burger to discover. Here are nine Miami burgers to put on your to-do list immediately.
Discover Upper Kirby
The Upper Kirby and Shepherd Corridor neighborhoods are popular commercial districts that offer some of the most diverse food scenes in the Houston area. You have your choice of a number of ethnic restaurants, including authentic Chinese, Japanese, and Indian fare. Wherever you are in one of these neighborhoods, you are also likely to be close to one of the many diners where you can enjoy a classic burger and milkshake in an atmosphere reminiscent of the 1950s. True to their location in the Lone Star State, Upper Kirby and Shepherd Corridor also host Texas barbecue joints where you can enjoy smoky ribs and Tex-Mex joints if you are looking for a little spice. Don't skip dessert! Treat yourself to a toffee cookie, a peanut butter and jelly cupcake, or slice of French blackbottom pie at one of the area's independent bakeries or cafés.
