Former La Griglia Space Will Soon Become Goode Co. Cantina — with an Exclusive Tequila Bar

Former La Griglia Space Will Soon Become Goode Co. Cantina — with an Exclusive Tequila Bar

AN ICONIC RESTAURANT space on West Gray, once home to La Griglia and a hopping patio scene, will soon be vivacious once again. In March, Goode Company will opens the fourth outpost of its popular Tex-Mex spot Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina on West Gray at McDuffie.


The Kitchen & Cantina menu touts beautifully executed classics like mesquite-grilled fajitas, enchiladas verdes, taquitos and mouthwatering combo platters, all made with hand-rolled tortillas, house-ground sausage and more. With existing locations in Memorial, the Heights and The Woodlands, it has garnered a following city-wide.

But there's something about the new River Oaks restaurant that goes beyond the basic margarita: Behind the main building, a "cavern-like" agave-focused bar will feature a drink list comprised of mezcal- and tequila-forward beverages, plus a menu of light bites like flautas and aguachile. More info about the forthcoming Bar Buena can be found on Instagram.

“We are excited to continue Goode Company’s journey and expand into the River Oaks community with this new location,” said Goode Company Chef and President Levi Goode in a statement. “We aim to create an inviting atmosphere where people can unwind, relax on our outdoor patio, enjoy some delicious food, or take in an excellently crafted cocktail at Bar Buena.”

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
