In its brief history, this restaurant, located in the Alden-Houston Hotel, has seen a short procession of chefs, all of quality and originality; and the new chef, Wes Morton, is no exception. Originally from Louisiana, he has cooked in some highly regarded restaurants on both coasts and has brought bold cooking ideas to match the bold design of this small restaurant's dining room. The dinner menus are seasonal and understated. There is usually a choice of 6 to 10 main courses, including at least one kind of steak (this is a hotel restaurant in Texas) and a couple of daily specials. Try to order at least one fish dish; both of the ones I tasted were especially rewarding. But perhaps the best way to enjoy a meal here is to let the chef choose for you by selecting the six-course tasting menu with wine pairings. If you wish to sample the cuisine without spending much, go for lunch, when you can order the three-course menu for $17. The restaurant's dining room is small (reservations are a must), the furniture is comfortable, and the service is attentive.
