11 Best Fancy Houston Restaurants For A Special Occasion - Houston - The Infatuation

"Much like an Acqua Di Gio commercial or taking an everything shower, BCN radiates luxury and sensuality. Here, you’ll be eating silky slices of jamon Iberico beneath an actual Picasso. Nothing on the Spanish restaurant’s menu tastes revolutionary. Still, dishes like a grilled branzino with grapefruit or a grilled octopus will make you say, “Oh, this is tasty, right?” before boasting about getting your security deposit back (which you might need to pay for this meal). The best way to eat here is to walk in and grab a seat at BCN’s small bar. The bartenders have a knack for pairing rare Spanish vermouths with whatever you order and provide an intimate level of service that isn’t as easily achieved at BCN’s larger table. But if you need a reservation, expect to dine early or late unless you can plan a few weeks ahead. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
