Hit the Wall in the Heights
New Eats

Glass Wall The Restaurant is The Heights' newest bistro. Saturday April 8th marked the official opening. Working chef/co-owner Lance Fegen orchestrates a menu inspired by the natural lifestyle of coastal regions, one that is constantly changing and echoes the connection between the season and foods we eat. Dishes are paired with a suggestion from their signature wine room (“the X room”). If you’ re lucky, you can score a seat at table X or the chef’s table, but both are only available for tables of deuce- I mean two. 933 Studewood Street, 713.863.4121, www.glasswalltherestaurant.com call for reservations *DOUB DEUCE
