Not a restaurant but its a fabulous bar, France meets Houston, the sort of bar I have never managed to find in France. In fact took a few days to find it here, exactly how a wine bar should be, great wine list, muted lights, music on tap, friendly people. They talk to you everywhere in Texas. Southern America just...
