Clark's Oyster Bar

Clark's Oyster Bar is one of Kirby and Chase's favorite spots for martinis and oysters. After Chase proposed at Hermann Park, he surprised Kirby with a reservation at Clark's, where her brother joined to celebrate! With 10/10 service, great vibes, and a convenient location just five minutes from the welcome party at HMNS, it's poised for a perfect night!

The Marigold Club

The Marigold Club in Montrose is a chic spot that combines French cuisine with the elegance of London's Mayfair district. The interior is stunning, featuring rich upholstery, intimate banquettes, and bespoke Murano chandeliers. The menu is a modern take on French classics, with highlights like indulgent seafood towers, caviar tea sandwiches, and refined entrées.

Candente

"If Candente were any larger, it would need its own zip code. The number of tables, the expansive patio, the bar seating that stretches the length of the kitchen – the scale of this Tex-Mex restaurant is considerable. And yet, the cooking keeps up. You could make a whole meal out of the tortilla soup, and there’s a lot to like about the enchiladas, stuffed with cheese or, notably, brisket. But we’re really here for the fajitas featuring excellent prime beef sourced from Niman Ranch. Tender cuts arrive on a sizzling cast-iron with charred onions and come with fantastic tortillas made with brisket trimmings." - Michelin Guide

It's one of Chase's favorite Tex Mex joints in all of Houston!
