Hugo Ortega is a James Beard Award winner. Hugo's is one of several of his restaurants in Houston. The margaritas are the best in town.
If you are dining by yourself, just go sit at the bar. You will make friends quickly.

Local Breweries
Even though Karbach was recently purchased by a large brewery, they are still a great place to spend a little time. They have a more than decent restaurant, dog-friendly outdoor place and often have live music.
St. Arnold's is one of the first local craft breweries. The founder was a student at Rice University when he got started. The business has flourished and now has a very large tasting room, sponsors lots of local events and has a great pet-friendly outdoor pavilion.
