Restaurants near Contemporary Arts Museum

I took my niece for her 21st birthday, they treated her as if she was the most special person to come in that day. This was Emma’s first example of fine dining and she has now asked to make this a yearly event for the two of us. Without a question, we will be joining for years to come!

Wonderful ambiance, decor, and service. Food was delicious. Would serve the patrons better if there were some steaks on the menu that weren't $75 minimum, that was off-putting.

It’s been a minute since the last time we went to Uchi for dinner. Was not disappointed. Great valet service across the street, ticket validated by Uchi and we still tipped the great service. We arrived early after attending the Rockets game and were sent to the wine bar to enjoy drinks before dinner. Outstanding service and support. Other restaurants would just have you wait. Dinner was marvelous and the chef brought out an assortment of options based on our tastes and requests. Taste, quality and experience was all 5 star. Loved it.

Le Jardinier fully deserves its new Michelin star. Our group of four had lunch after a museum visit. Everything from the ambience to the food to the service was spectacular. My squid ink shellfish ravioli was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted anywhere in the world, and our most carnivorous diner pronounced the Wagyu burger “the best piece of meat I’ve ever had.” Bravi to everyone at Le Jardinier!

Outstanding evening from top to bottom! Our hostess was accommodating giving us several seating options, Jose, our waiter paced our meal perfectly, giving suggestions, created my drink of choice, and was delightful the whole evening. We were in Houston awaiting a cancer diagnosis, while also missing Christmas with our family, and everyone at Monarch gave us a beautiful evening away from the reality of life with cancer. We highly recommend an evening at Monarch!
