Just Dinner: Casual & Classy

From small beginnings, Just Dinner has grown into a great local BYOB dining experience. Located in the Mogan House in the neighborhood of Montrose, Just Dinner is just that – a delicious dinner option. While this is a casual restaurant, the décor is decidedly upscale, but also quiet and comfortable. Get an appetizer like country pate or warm brie to share, and move on to tasty American and Italian entrée options that will satisfy any diner. Everything made is fresh because all of the ingredients are either harvested in the restaurant’s garden, or bought that day. What a great way to have a tasty rendezvous with somebody special! Just Dinner is open Tuesday through Saturday for – what else – just dinner! Reservations are accepted.

Pinot’s Palette: Unleash Your Inner Artist

Have you always wanted to make art, but didn’t know where to start? Pinot’s Palette in Midtown offers fun, social art classes that provide just the right atmosphere to help you lose any self-consciousness and start creating. The process begins when you choose a class – each session is based around recreating a specific piece of art – some famous, some not so famous. The pieces are pictured on the web schedule so you can choose a class according to your taste. Bring your own food and drink (yes, you may bring wine) and let talented professional artists facilitate your creation. The process is simple, fun, and easier than you might think, and you will end up with a piece of art you'll be proud to display. The space is also available for private classes and parties.

Luigi’s Pizzeria: A Slice of Naples in Houston

Luigi’s Pizzeria is known as one of the best places to get thin crust pizza in Houston. Some would say the best place; it’s certainly a contender. Many people call Luigi’s pizza New York style because of its thin crust, but the rustic oblong pies belong to the Neopolitan tradition more than anything. A popular choice at Luigi’s is the Caprese pizza, appropriately Italian in its simplicity. Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil are all you need to complement the chewy crust. The Supreme, with pepperoni, sausage, and veggies is also a favorite. The star here is the pizza but Luigi’s also offers a wide range of salads, sandwiches, pasta, and calzones. Be sure to end your meal with a refreshing gelato in a rotating variety of flavors.
