The Grove

<p>This outpost by veteran Texas chef Robert del Grande fits right into its setting, downtown Houston's Discovery Green park. The mostly glass-walled restaurant even has a second-floor tomato-and-herb garden. Del Grande and chef Ryan Pera have devised a casual, seasonal menu emphasizing simple grilled dishes and foods sautéed in cast-iron skillets. </p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong> Arrive early for a cocktail at the sceney rooftop Treehouse deck, surrounded by the leafy tops of towering oak trees. </p>
