The Pass and Provisions

It's a restaurant within a restaurant, each distinct, and yes, fantastic. The more casual side, Provisions, is a little rock 'n roll, with a lively main dining room playing music that sets an almost rambunctious mood. Pizzas are a must, like the guanciale with uni, or the burrata with tomato. Pastas are house-made and will blow your mind, like the wholly unforgettable cresta de gallo. House made breads, served with a selection of cheeses or charcuterie, are also musts, and the wine list/drink program is already shaping up to be one of the best in the city. In contrast, The Pass is decidedly ritzy and upscale. An exclusive place where you can get dressed up (or not), where the star is the food and the chefs who will come to your table to serve them. Plan to stay the whole night, go for the gold and get the eight course tasting menu with a wine or cocktail flight, and get ready for an experience to remember. Reservations a must.

Spot on flavors earmarks this new hip eatery called Provisions. But the real gem is The Pass- impeccable service, ambiance & food.

co-ed bathrooms, a unique (and tasty) cocktail list and the ironic lardo challah bread are just bonuses where Provisions is concerned. The pasta selections are interesting and the half portion is plenty, even for an entree. The patio is gorgeous and the service is incredible. A new Houston gem sure to be around for the long haul.

Best bathrooms: You can take the table talk all the way to the toilets in this industrial-chic co-ed affair.
