A hand-painted grand piano in the dining room
International artist Punk Me Tender (Romain Lefebvre) created the bright pink exterior design with hand-painted butterfly embellishments and installations in the pink quartz bar. Restaurateurs Veeral Rathod and Obi Ibeto worked with local designer Erin Hicks on the interiors. Guests will find a custom pink grand piano, a “Princess Table” in the cocktail lounge with photos of Princesses Diana and Grace of Monaco, as well as flirty lighting throughout. Each plush booth features “Press for Champagne” doorbells, ensuring swift delivery of bubbles.
And the food? Long-time Houston chef Bryan Caswell, formerly of shuttered Reef, calls the menu “modern American.” This translates to dishes like caviar donuts with white chocolate caviar, a glistening shellfish tower, and crispy rice sushi. Mains include Ora King salmon, Akaushi tomahawk ribeye, mustard brûlée short ribs and other chophouse classics. Desserts are as show stopping as the room – think baked Alaska and 11-layer chocolate cake.
“With PostScript, we wanted to create a sensory-expanding space bursting with color and dynamism in such a way as to beckon each guest to fully explore the confines and take in each and every meticulously crafted detail,” said co-owner Rathod in a statement. “While certainly a calling card of the restaurant, the design is not the only element worth touting; chef Caswell’s menu is one that perfectly complements PostScript’s striking interior space. He has truly outdone himself with this menu, one that Houstonians and visitors alike will find refreshing and authentic.”

Located in the space previously home to Del Frisco’s Grille space, a stone’s throw from Tootsies, the newcomer will introduce a happy hour, complete with a curated array of cocktails including plenty in pink, ‘natch. PostScript’s private dining room is outfitted with its own dedicated bar and patio; the space can accommodate 42 guests for a sit-down dinner or 60 for reception style. Additionally, there’s another private event room for a cozier affair, comfortably hosting 16 guests.
Open daily for dinner Monday through Sunday, PostScript will soon unveil lunch and brunch hours.

Enter artist manager, curator and art-business educator, Moriah Alise. In addition to managing, mentoring, and advocating for artists under the umbrella of the Alise Art Group, Alise uses her popular YouTube Channel “Dear Glory” to highlight living painters, explore art history, and unpack the sometimes uncomfortable connections between creativity and art market indices, as in her most recent video “Art Market Secrets.” “It’s all based on education, advocacy and support,” says Alise of her multi-hyphenated endeavors.
Alise’s latest project is conceptualizing and curating In Tender Peaks, Grace Unfolds, a deeply personal group show opening Feb. 16 at Mitochondria Gallery. The exhibit explores the nature of vulnerability and resilience, and features an international cast of eleven artists, including Houstonians Colby Deal, LaMonté French and Ryan Williams, alongside artists from Ghana, Rwanda, and Nigeria. (Deal and French, along with Erika Alonso, are managed by Alise Art Group.) Alise credits Mitochondria for encouraging her to explore the range of contemporary African artists. “They’re such a dynamic gallery,” says Alise. “They are pushing limits in a way that will put Houston within the ecosystem it deserves to be in.”
Born and raised in Beaumont, Alise attended the University of Houston, where she earned a bachelor’s in Public Relations, with a focus on fashion PR. She was working at Apple when an intern position at Stella McCartney opened up and to her surprise, Apple transferred her job to New York and left her position in Houston open should she decide to return. “It was a really exciting time,” says Alise. “But I realized how crazy people are in the fashion industry!”
After a successful but stressful five months, she returned to Houston and began teaching art to high school students. In the wake of an ill-timed attempt to open and co-run a gallery, Alise Art Group was born in 2021, with French as her first artist/client. Something clicked, and their first show together at Sanman Studios sold out in 24 hours. “We took a risk on each other, and it worked!” says Alise of her collaboration with French.
With In Tender Peaks, Grace Unfolds just days away from opening, Alise is taking the show’s title to heart, and making time when she can for self-care and moments of grace. “I’m getting ready for it,” says Alise of the show. “I can’t wait to see it all, and how people respond to it.”
