Best Date Night Restaurant: Hidden Omakase
Dining out doesn’t get much more intimate than an 18-person chef’s counter. Houston’s only Michelin-recommended sushi spot, led by visionary executive chef Marcos Juarez, offers a luxe, daring take on the usual dinner date – with a carefully crafted omakase menu and just two seatings nightly. Expect dishes like ora king sashimi kissed by tom yum paste, lobster bathed in bonito beurre blanc and crowned with caviar, absolutely melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu, and pristine Hokkaido scallops, delicate as a sea breeze. Score this rezy and you’re already winning your next date night.
