The Heights Hot Spots
Last Saturday we changed things up and ate for the first time at Soma and Catalan in Houston. Both were fantastic. We started the night with three dishes at Soma: seared escolar drizzled with the most amazing minced garlic paste/ sauce, a kaiseki roll (6 pieces of sushi comprised of and topped with all different things), and the crazy irish man (a kicked up and flash fried spicy salmon/ tuna/ avocado roll). While the scene was bustling and food was great, we wanted to see what the rest of Washington Ave. offered and moved on to Catalan for dessert and drinks. We loved both the almond cake with sweet tea ice cream and Jorge Ordonez No.1 dessert wine.
He says: Houston has historically been dinged for not having the same happening places as Dallas, but is definitely on its way to closing the gap with places like Soma and Catalan. Can’t wait to try the apps at Catalan - funky but refined.
She says: It doesn’t get much better than Catalan. The music’s fun, crowd diverse, interior colorful and food exceptional (…and be prepared to pay for this experience).
