Louisa Moore Due to its location in a more hoity-toity area of Southern California, this Houstons location attracts a lot of "see and be seen" types as well as the "ladies who lunch." Never in my life have I seen more designer handbags, clothes, and shoes than I have at this restaurant (not to mention plastic surgeries, LOL). That being said, Ive never felt out of place in my Chucks and Kohls jeans.
This Houstons offers plenty of free parking, which is one of the major pluses of dining here! They also accept reservations, which I highly recommend. Otherwise, you could be facing upwards of a 90 minute (or longer!) wait at busy times. I usually eat here during lunch, and its just as crowded as it is at dinnertime.
As with other locations, the service here is top notch. Professional, efficient, and welcoming, Ive always been pleased with our servers.
My go-to menu items are the cheese toast appetizer and the house made veggie burger. Both are excellent (and pricey), but worth it. The cheese toast isnt really big enough to share (I could eat the entire plate myself), but its high quality. Nice, melty cheese on crunchy bites of toast...you cant go wrong.
The veggie burger is one of the best in the world. Its made with beets, so it "bleeds" when you cut it. This gives it the appearance of a big, juicy burger although its made from vegetables. Im not sure the exact ingredients, but it looks like it has oats, rice, sweet potatoes, and other good stuff. I love to get broccoli as my side, and I feel like I have a very healthy meal. I usually take half to go because its a large portion and, considering the high quality of the ingredients, its more than satisfying!
The menu is filled with so many yummy sounding things, and I dont think you can go wrong with anything you order. Budget around $80 for a nice lunch for two without booze.
