Best Expense Account Restaurant: Kirkwood
You’ll want to bring a big wallet (or someone else’s) to Kirkwood, an Energy Corridor clubhouse restaurant where the tabs can climb quickly if you let it. The executive chef’s résumé includes Per Se and The NoMad, plus local favorite UB Preserv, and the menu delivers accordingly, from hamachi crudo with peach aguachile and golden osetra caviar service to tableside-carved Chateaubriand. The drinks run from expensive Scotch and Champagne to a $40 Manhattan that changes flavor as you sip. Inside, rich leather, dark wood and copper accents set the scene, with a striking Astrodome replica impressing guests at the entrance.
