In a city the size of Houston, you’re never left wanting for dining-out options. However, when it comes time for a special occasion, the usual neighborhood spots feel stale. Switch things up by visiting these fancier establishments near 7 Seventy when you have something to celebrate.
1) Uchi Houston
Sashimi, sushi, and sake all await eaters at Uchi Houston. Yet even those well-versed in Japanese cuisine might be surprised by Uchi’s unique renditions of these classic Japanese dishes. From freshwater eel to Spanish anchovy to torch-seared beef, Uchi’s menu of sushi and sashimi looks little like that of your typical sushi joint. That’s why patrons love it. Not only is the menu unique, but also the space is, with a stone tower jutting up over the entrance and modern decor inside.
904 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77006; (713) 522-4808
2) Pappas Bros. Steakhouse
Pappas Bros. Steakhouse has been the bread and butter of the Pappas family since they took ownership in 1976, and locals are happy to help keep the family legacy alive. That’s because in exchange for their support, they dig into steaks that are hand-cut, dry-aged, and painstakingly seasoned in-house. In addition to the steaks, you can order seafood, dessert, and a glass of wine.
