Chef and owner of Mockingbird Bistro John Sheely has thirty years in the restaurant business, so he’s got a pretty good handle on what Houston diners are looking for by now. And judging from the reception Mockingbird Bistro has enjoyed since opening in 2002, his instincts are pretty trustworthy. Serving a unique combination of cuisines he likes to refer to as “Texas Provence,” the bistro-style restaurant has won raves from diners and critics alike. Some hallmark dishes include a spectacular Kobe beef burger that is cooked to absolute perfection, a tantalizing duck three ways that boasts remarkable foie gras, and what might be the best Caesar salad you ever eat. The wine selection at Mockingbird Bistro is among the best in town, with a gifted sommelier on site to walk you through the selection and make recommendations based on your meal and price range. This place is a real gem and shouldn’t be missed.
