If you’re looking for expertly-prepared seafood in the Houston area, look no further than Reef. Chef Bryan Caswell is one of the city’s leading culinary lights, growing up in Houston and then traveling the world polishing his skills at top-tier restaurants in New York, Barcelona, Thailand, and more. After returning home, he opened Reef in 2009 to rave reviews, and it’s been smooth sailing since then—he was a James Beard Award Nominee in 2010, and was named a Top 10 Best New Chef by Food & Wine Magazine in 2009. Regulars go crazy over the incredible variety of seafood dishes from all over the world. When you get to your table, you’ll be brought house rolls with tart, spicy jalapeno jam. Standout appetizers include the 3rd Bar Plateau, an amazing tower of raw and salted seafood meant to be shared around the table, as well as the great calamari. As for entrees, pretty much everything on the menu is on the good side of spectacular, with special attention given to the great redfish on the half shell and chorizo stuffed scallops.
