The Houston restaurant scene is definitely getting a lot more interesting with all of the new openings. Oxheart officially opens its doors tonight for dinner service! Here are some shots from their press day. I couldn't be more proud of Sam & the risks he's taken to do something he loves, & now he gets to work with an extremely small kitchen filled with amazing cooks. Daniel & I went for their friends & family soft opening this past weekend and were served the very first plates. I love the restaurant space - they did a great job with everything. I'm stealing my picture captions from the menu ... there's no way I know/remember everything on these plates. I'm not Sam.
