Editorial reviews from the web (4)

Amid the home-grown antiques, oddities, and furnishings stores of the still-wacky main street of the Heights, Shade is a slice of cool sophistication and attentive, hospitable service. The seasonal menu—creative, fresh, and very well priced—includes local favorites like the massive bacon, lettuce, and fried-green-tomato sandwich; and an unbeatable butternut squash risotto with pan-seared...

Have fun in the sun and make a stop in (the) Shade. Located in the Historical Houston Heights, this modern restaurant doesn't really seem to fit in with the 1920s buildings surrounding it. That doesn't seem to bother the locals who frequent this popular establishment, especially for brunch. You'll find many church-goers stop in after their weekly service for their fixin' of grits (or a salad)...

A strong current of thought in cooking these days believes that everything from everywhere should be in play. Critics of this position hold that in mixing techniques and ingredients from around the globe, you lose the moorings and character of place. I'm not so sure. Unlike that found in the long-established cuisines of the world, America has less tradition to follow and has always been about...

Inventive and informal gourmet fare in a sophisticated Heights setting.

I'll start with the positives: the Sirloin steak two of our party had was very good; the bottle of champagne they gave us after they realized we waited 45 minutes was a very nice gesture; nice...

Really a 3.5 stars. Had a tasty lunch here yesterday. Broke my rule - again - about eating breakfast after breakfast time! Had the chicken and waffles with the 2 over easy eggs and was good....

Situated on a charming section of 19th Street in the Heights, Shade offers a trendy dining experience with solid food and a solid wine list. The menu options can become pricey, but if you're thinking of venturing up here for the first time, make sure to come for dinner and forget the weekly budget, because at Shade, the portions are...

The Profile Page for this restaurant is brought to you by the DiningGuide.com service. Shade is located in Houston.

A casually hip neighborhood restaurant, Shade is romantic but unpretentious thanks to muted colors, clean lines, and broad windows. A menu that revels in flavor and texture pulls guests back again and again, eager to sample dishes like pan-seared red snapper with a wasabi kick, squid salad, rustic baked pastas, creative salads, and pork enlivened with citrus and herbs. Outdoor dining is...

Located in the Heights of Houston and owned by Heights residents, this is a great stop for comfortable, yet sophisticated dining. Their menu includes fried green tomatoes and pecan crusted duck.
