Brasserie 1895 In 2015 Kris Jakob left his namesake Kris Bistro restaurant to partner with Sky Lyn Gibbons and open a neighborhood spot a few miles from his home in Friendswood. The cuisine is defined as New American and French, but adding a label to Jakob’s creations is not quite that simple. His award-winning beef tartare, Vuelva a la vidal and piri piri lamb pasta are exquisitely fashioned, mingling French with Latin, South African and Indian flavors. Desserts are beautifully paired with craft brews for a unique and imaginative finish.
