Front Porch Pub

"Great and friendly local pub. Fun and games for everyone from pool tables to video golf as well as a game of darts and large screen TVs on which to watch the big games. There is literally a front porch, which is huge and very inviting. Their steak on steak night can compete with the best--it is so smooth that all you'll need to cut it is a butter knife!"

"The most delicious Puerto Rican food outside of Puerto Rico. It is owned and operated by a mature Puerto Rican couple who cook the meals right in front of you. It is tres casual and very pequeno, so you feel as though you are entering their house for a home cooked meal! Add to that, since 1993, Marvin Zindler has awarded them with the cleanest kitchen in Houston!"

Del Posto

"Classic Italian cuisine in an opulent yet embracing atmosphere,near the West Side Highway. I am not only mesmerized by their menu (in particular their choices of risotto) but by how gracious the staff is. To dine there is a therapeutic experience on many levels. You will want to frequent there again and again, not only to experience each and every heavenly creation on their menu, but for their personal attention to detail."
