B&B Butchers

Take in the beauty of Houston’s skyline by getting a seat in the rooftop patio of B&B Butchers. This upscale steakhouse specializes in dry-aged custom hand cuts and steakhouse classics like Châteaubriand and beef Wellington. Sides are plentiful and if you’re not in the mood for beef, you can opt for lobster or the various seafood dishes on the menu. Pair that with an impressive selection of beer, wines, and spirits, and you’re in for a very special meal.

The Grove

This beautiful glass-encased restaurant in the middle of Discovery Green Park offers gorgeous views of the park. The menu designed by chef Robert del Grande features a variety of foods, including steaks, seafood, salads and tasty appetizers. Don’t miss happy hour on weekdays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. or take in the views during Sunday brunch, which is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.

Z on 23 Rooftop Bar

For 360-degree views of downtown Houston, head to the 23rd floor of the historic Le Meridien Hotel to Z on 23 Rooftoop Bar. The views here are spectacular and you’ll find a menu of light bites and cocktails to enjoy on a date or with friends on a night out. If you’re hungry, you can always have dinner at Le Meridien’s Zutro Restaurant before or after you enjoy your drink with a view.

Harold’s

At this welcoming restaurant in the heart of the Heights, you can dine while looking over 19th Street – a historic street that is home to many small shops and boutiques.
