Best Brasserie
Brasserie 19
Photo by Mai Pham
The old Tony Mandola's space that abuts River Oaks experienced a dramatic makeover when Charles Clark and Grant Cooper birthed Brasserie 19 in a whirl of glossy whites, sparkling brass, modern fixtures and old-school charm. It's everything an updated brasserie space should be, with an impossibly long, marble bar and casual seating that almost belies its elegant menu. The food is so good, in fact, that preening, polished River Oaks ladies willingly endure the heat and humidity at a patio table for the Brasserie's mussels in Belgian ale and pan-roasted duck.
