• Seafood • Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor

Jim Goode's love of seafood was born from a childhood spent along the sun-soaked Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast. It was this love for coastal dishes, Cajun flavors and time spent together that Jim passed down to his own kids - and to the plates still on our menu today.Fresh food speaks for itself - so we don't send ours swimming in heavy sauces. Instead, our daily Gulf catch is grilled over mesquite or lightly battered and fried golden. It's this tasteful preparation that leads to mouthwatering plates worth diving into.Piled high with shrimp and crab meat, our famous Campechana gets its kick from a special blend of pico de gallo, fire-roasted Anaheim peppers and diced avocadoes. Pair it with tortilla chips or saltines and wash it all down with a cold one. Specialty cocktails, beer and wine served daily. Times and offerings vary by location.

Restauranteur Shawn Virene put the POP into Houston with his wildly successful a’Bouzy. This champagne-fueled spot located in the tony River Oaks neighborhood of town attracts a stylish crowd all day. The bar is always bustling and the patio echoes with the cry – “a Bouzy!” every time a bottle is sabered tableside. In fact, most tables will have multiple wine buckets close by, keeping the bubbly cool. The fresh, ripe American menu features seasonal seafood, salads, small-shareable plates, large raw bar and prime meats. The wine list curated by Virene, is both the best-priced on bubbly and wines in the city. The interiors have a sophisticated rustic vibe with exposed brick, reclaimed woods and a color palate of creams and blues. The effervescent appeal of bubbles is reflected in a light installation that mimics bubbles floating overhead. The spacious patio is a magnet for the stylish clientele that enjoy the year-round garden. The best thing is Champagne and wine is at or below retail

    The Marigold Club is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambience is stunning—warm, inviting, and full of vibrant energy that sets the perfect mood for a memorable dining experience. The atmosphere is lively yet intimate, making it a fantastic spot for both a night out with friends or a special date. The food is definitely an acquired taste, but in the best way possible—each dish is thoughtfully crafted, unique, and bursting with flavors that surprise and delight. It’s not your typical fare, but that’s exactly what makes it stand out. If you’re open to trying something new and exciting, this place is a must-visit. Service was top-notch, with a staff that’s knowledgeable and passionate about what they serve. If you’re looking for a restaurant that offers a mix of sophistication, great energy, and a one-of-a-kind culinary experience, The Marigold Club is the place to be!

    The wait was a tad long even with a reservation (but they can’t really be blamed that Valentine’s Day happened to fall on a Friday anyhow) Once we were seated we had waters brought out and our very friendly server took incredible care of my partner and I. The food was delicious and everything I hoped it would be, there were two live music groups walking around and playing great music as well which added great atmosphere. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone, I’m sure you’ll be seated much faster on a better night as well so I wouldn’t bet on knocking this place because of it.
