Levy Park's Giant New Restaurant Is Casual-Chic with Something for Everyone (Kids and Pups, Too!)

Inside Hearsay's new Levy Park restaurant

SOON WE WILL be thinking about alfresco dining, taking our kids or pups to the park, and generally being outdoors in crisper weather. Enter Hearsay, the new oasis in Levy Park, which replaces the shuttered Woodshed Smokehouse.


At this family-friendly gathering spot from Landmark Houston Hospitality Group, guests can linger on the lovely patio with park views while kids devour soft-serve ice cream (your furry friends are invited, too). The glossy, wood-paved space, which dangles with multiple chandeliers, is huge, with lots of elbow room — and a separate bar, which stays open until midnight on the weekends. Dishing up eclectic American cuisine, this is the seventh Houston-area location from the restaurant group.


“We chose Levy Park for its rich history, aiming to honor Hearsay’s legacy, which began with our first restaurant in the historic W.L. Foley building in 2008,” said Joseph Natale, CEO of Hearsay. “Hearsay Levy Park marks our brand’s evolution. It features elevated design elements, and our largest bar with views, high ceilings, and garage doors that open outdoors. We’ve also included two private dining rooms, expanded our culinary menu, and our diverse selection of handcrafted cocktails.”

Chef Carlos Bautista’s vast lunch, brunch and dinner menus offer shareable plates like the charcuterie board and the spicy Kung Pao shrimp and calamari. Anticipate about ten handmade pizzas, as well as salads, burgers, tacos, and a Chicago-style hot dog. Main plates range from an espresso-rubbed pork chop and beef short-rib braised in Shiner Bock with cheddar-cheese grits, to crab-crusted redfish with red-pepper coulis.

Vegetarians are not left out of the fun: Choose from the plant-based burger, pesto pasta primavera, and watermelon "poke" tostados. Besides cocktails, mocktails, wine and beer to sip, specially priced Houston Restaurant Weeks multi-course menus are on tap through September!

How did you get to where you are today? My journey to where I am today is built on a foundation of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Every step along the way, I faced obstacles, but I approached each one with determination and a “never give up” mindset. Instead of being discouraged by challenges, I used them as opportunities to grow and improve. Consistency was key—I committed to showing up and giving my best effort every day. I also learned not to take “no” as a final answer. Instead, I saw it as a chance to push harder, adapt, and find another way forward. It’s this combination of persistence, resilience, and unwavering focus that has brought me to where I am today.

How did you get where you are today? We’ve stayed true to the vision of the store’s founder, Morris Penner, who relentlessly sought out unique product, with exceptional quality being a key element. Morris always used to say, “The fastest way to lose a customer is to bore him” and we agree. A percentage of every season’s budget is allocated to something new and unique. While product is key, it’s not enough. Having an excellent staff and discipline in business practices is also critical.
