Pier 6 Debuts Can’t-Miss Bayside Brunch

The Baller Bloody Mary

WE MIGHT NOT have the picture-perfect weekend weather that Pier 6 Seafood & Oyster House had in mind for its delicious brunch debut — but it's a decent bet that the Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast will still taste damn good.


The waterfront restaurant, which opened in San Leon in November from the family behind renowned Prestige Oysters, is helmed by former Brennan's of Houston chef Joe Cervantez, who clearly had a lot of fun coming up with Pier 6's new brunch menu. Guests can devour items like the "hot chicken donut" with Crystal hot sauce honey and a fried egg, or the wood-grilled-shrimp enchilada, all while soaking up the views of Galveston Bay.

Hot Chicken Donut

The steak and egg here is special, made with Snake River Farms' Wagyu Spinalis and served with caramelized-onion potatoes, bearnaise sauce and, yes, another fried egg, all served in its own little skillet.

All dishes are best accompanied, of course, by not one but four mimosas — a fruit-topped flight awaits! — or a Baller Bloody Mary, overflowing with shrimp.

Ready for a getaway yet? The bayside restaurant — which itself is lovely, boasting colorful interiors and two decks with an expansive wrap-around bar and rattan swings — also offers four stylish, bungalow-style overnight accommodations for those wishing to make a night of it. Or, might we suggest, a night followed by a delicious morning brunch?

Saba Syed, Founder of Oasis Moroccan Bath

How did you get to where you are today? My journey began with a need to be financially independent and an even a deeper drive to create a lasting legacy. The centuries-old Hammam tradition has always fascinated me—not just for its relaxation benefits, but for its holistic approach to cleansing the body, mind, and soul. So, combining my passion with a vision to bring an authentic yet luxurious Hammam spa experience to Houston, I took the leap less than two years ago to open my own spa.

Jacob Hilton, a.k.a. Travid Halton, at home in his kitchen, where he enjoys cooking as a form of therapy.

PINK FLOYD'S THE Wall. Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours. Beyonce’s Lemonade. Three divergent examples of the album as a cathartic, psychological, conceptual work, meant to be experienced in a single sitting. Houston singer-songwriter Jacob Hilton, 37, who records as Travid Halton, a portmanteau of his mother and father’s names, might balk at being mentioned in such company. (This is a thoroughly unpretentious man, who describes himself as an “archaeologist turned singer-songwriter.”)
