New Restaurant Alert: Granger's Is a Welcome Addition to the Museum District

New Restaurant Alert: Granger's Is a Welcome Addition to the Museum District

THE MUSEUM DISTRICT hasn't always been the easiest place to open and operate a restaurant, for some reason. But there's a Houston couple who seems to have gotten the hang of it — and today they unveil their newest concept on Binz St.

Ryan and Josephine Granger have opened Granger's, with classic but elevated American food a la steaks, seafood and bourbon-pecan pie. It combines neighborhood-diner vibes with polished finishes, a departure from the other more casual restaurants the Grangers run in the area — Bodegas Taco Shop and Fia's Pizzeria, along with a catering business, which are all under the umbrella of the Grangers' HTX Restaurant Group.

The new Granger's is huge, with 7,000 square feet, a centerpiece bar, and three private-dining rooms. The front patio will no doubt be packed once the mercury drops — though shade from the 100-year-old oak trees will help in the meantime! The whole setting is a lovely place to sample the extensive menu, with offerings like the indulgent Weekend in Wimberley salad with bourbon-glazed pears, pecans and bacon lardons; classic New England clam chowder with grilled-sourdough crostini; chicken-fried chicken with horseradish-whipped potatoes; dijon-crusted salmon and more. There's a whole section on the menu dedicated to steaks, and the $255 Baller Board comes with all three cuts and sides including green veggies plus Oscar sauce and merlot demiglaze. Yum.

Granger's is open for lunch, dinner and happy hour — great wine menu! — daily; a weekend brunch menu will follow shortly.

WITH ITS INAUGURAL set of residents newly moved in, Pelican Builders’ mid-rise condominium Westmore at 2323 W Main Street in Upper Kirby is already seeing the blossoming of a tight-knit community.

And with remaining two-bedroom homes starting at $895,000, it’s a remarkable value for this increasingly pricey area, where condos can easily climb to several million dollars and more.

Five Fabulously Diverse Exhibits Are Arriving at Museum of Fine Arts Houston

Bill Viola’s ‘Ascension,’ on display as part of ‘Living with the Gods’ at MFAH

THE ARTIST WHO ushered in the expressionist movement in the early 20th century was not, in fact, Picasso or Matisse. It was Paul Gauguin, whose career spanned the decades just preceding the turn of the century. The French painter is the subject of the Museum of Fine Arts’ latest exhibit, Gauguin in the World, which was organized by Henri Loyrette (formerly of the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris). The show, just one of the museum’s diverse winter season shows, debuted in Australia in June and will be on display through Feb. 16, 2025, at the MFAH, the only U.S. venue for the survey.
