Spicy Girl
I’ve long decided that I prefer Cantonese food to Sichuanese food, but still wanted to try this place out and see how it compared to the other Sichuanese restaurants popping up around town. Visiting on a weekday, I was able to easily find parking and was seated promptly upon arriving for a 7:45PM dinner. Our server was incredibly nice and able to offer suggestions on what to order when I told him I liked spicy but didn’t like Sichuan Peppers. I would have loved to try the 3 course Duck dish ($56), but not knowing if I would like the quality of the food, I didn’t want my first meal…

Sit Low (Finn Hall)
For a more accurate feel, I really need to stop visiting newly opened restaurants and give them a few weeks to acclimate before visiting. However, a show at the nearby Toyota Center enticed me to visit Finn Hall the first week of it’s opening. The layout is incredible with enough floor space among the different offerings to be comfortable and not overly crowded. I was hoping for Korean, but at 6:15PM, Yong already ran out of food and had closed early. My next place of choice was Sit Lo where I was hoping to try their Oxtail Pho (Pho Bo). That unfortunately also sold out and I had to settle…

I’ve never had etouffee on a bed of campanelle pasta, but the Chef’s take on it surprisingly works. The seafood in the Blue Crab & Gulf Shrimp Etouffee was incredibly fresh and flavorful. And while I typically hate coating my food in a bed of cheese, it was mild enough to where it didn’t overwhelm the other flavors on my plate. The restaurant seems right at home in it’s Greenway Plaza home along side places like Tony’s and Kiran’s. While I was welcomed despite being dressed down in jeans and a black American Giant hoodie, most diners would feel more comfortable here in business casual dress. Waitstaff was incredibly nice…

I typically like to give a restaurant a few weeks to find it’s flow before visiting, but a lobster roll craving brought me out earlier than planned. Unfortunately, the roll was a popular item and they ran out by 5PM. Opting to sit outside, the place had a steady flow of diners through the door throughout the night. The environment is more casual that it’s sister restaurant ( B&B Butchers ) and there were a few families with young children in attendance. The kids were well behaved and warmly welcomed by the staff. The Crab Beignets and Banana Pudding were by far my favorite items on the menu and I would…
