If you love listening to live music while you sip and supp, Sambuca Jazz Café is your dinner destination.  Located in the Rice Hotel, Sambuca’s eclectic offerings appeal to an eclectic crowd: it works well for a business lunch, as a fun place to unwind during rush hour (also known as happy hour), and as a hot date spot.

Sambuca’s music calendar is as diverse as the establishment’s bar, beverage, food, and dessert menus! Check ahead to coordinate your evening with the sort of music you prefer since each night hosts a different flavor, including acoustic and classic rock, sultry singers, Latin mix, blues, country, jazz, and variety dance.

There’s something on the menu for every taste and appetite, from pizza to lamb chops and from greens to marinated pork ribs. Leave room for crème brulée or sticky toffee pudding or the martinis, which are magnificent.

Word to the wise: make reservations, but don’t always depend on them.

Just thinking about Star Pizza starts the mouth watering. A Houston fixture since 1976, Star Pizza’s two establishments offer lunch and dinner menus seven days a week, as well as delivery of its quality fare. Allow time for seriously prepared fresh, made-to-order dishes—the only problem you’ll have is deciding between deep dish crust or thin, whole wheat or merely unbleached, and toppings galore. And which salad. And if someone in your group is craving one of the pasta dishes or sandwiches so everyone can share a taste of those too. One solution might be the lunch buffet, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Joe is is among the most popular pizza combinations, with sautéed spinach and fresh garlic. Another favorite, the Starburst, melds most meatlovers’ basics with onions, mushrooms and green peppers.  You can’t go wrong with the Chicken Alfredo and Margarita pizzas.  Or, of course, you can build your own pizzas. Do branch out, however, because pizza’s not the only great eating at Star Pizza.
