Former La Griglia Space Will Soon Become Goode Co. Cantina — with an Exclusive Tequila Bar
Jan. 15, 2025
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.”

MUTINY WINE ROOM in the Heights is celebrating five years with a bash this month. Opening just months before the pandemic, the tasting-room-style bar and restaurant is run by Emily Trout and Mark Ellenberger, who also own Kagan Cellars in Napa Valley.
“Wine, at its worst is an expression, and at its best is a work of art,” said the founders in a statement. “We founded Mutiny Wine Room to create connections between wine lovers and the hands, hearts, and minds of the artists that create great wine."
The food menu at Mutiny is helmed by chef Eduardo Alcayaga who emphasizes local produce from specialty purveyors for his Cali-meets-Texas menu. The Ranch Board, for example, is a twist on the wine-tasting staple with sirloin steak, venison sausage and bacon roulade.
On Jan. 23, the anniversary party will also celebrate the exclusive release of Kagan Cellars' 2019 Vintages with a grazing table from chef Eduardo plus discounts on wine club memberships.
