Moon Tower Inn · East End
An East End dive of cobbled together shipping containers and a big patio, pairing 60-plus taps with an ever changing menu of gourmet tubesteaks from wild boar, wagyu, deer, duck, and lamb, each on a soft pretzel bun. A decade plus neighborhood fixture.
Coltivare · The Heights
A Heights garden-patio spot under a fig tree, splitting the difference between wood-fired pizza and pasta. The cacio e pepe and a pizza loaded with spicy, slow-roasted pork are the reasons to go, and much of the produce comes from the restaurant's own backyard garden.
Messina Hof Harvest Green Winery & Kitchen · Richmond
The Houston-area outpost of the Texas producer, built around an 83-foot wine bar, a full-service restaurant, and a covered patio. Wine is produced from onsite vineyards, with a wood-fired kitchen using herbs and produce grown at the Harvest Green farm.
