On August 9th, for Houston Restaurant Week, Mallory and I chose a $25/person three course meal at
Restless Palate
2643 Commerical Center Blvd
Cinco Ranch, Texas 77494

FIRST COURSE
Edamame Roasted Garlic Hummus [toasted pita bread, tomato salad]
This wasn’t anything special, so there’s not much to say about it.
Bay Scallops + Shrimp Ceviche [fresh lime, cucumbers, avocado, peppers, onions, tomato, fried plantains]
We found it funny that it came with fried plantains but it was surprisingly good. I’ve come to a conclusion that I am not a huge fan of ceviche due to the high levels of acidity.
SECOND COURSE
Herb Grilled Salmon [Roma tomato, kale, asparagus, shaved garlic, basil chiffonade, white quinoa]
The salmon was cooked perfectly, flaky. And the veggies were okay.
Asiago Baked Chicken [chicken breast stuffed with Asiago cheese & spinach, bread crumbs, mushrooms cream lemon butter, vegetable medley]
This wasn’t how I pictured it in my head so when it came, I was a little skeptical. But boy was I wrong. The chicken was so moist and everything just tasted perfect. I about died. I would definitely come back here for this dish.
THIRD COURSE
Blood Orange Sorbet was our favourite. It was very light and in a way, helped clean our palates. Simple desserts are sometimes the best desserts.
Kiwi Strawberry Tart
I don’t think I was ever a fan of kiwi but this tart had the best crust I’ve tasted in a long while. If they made a different tart with the same crust, I’ll definitely order it again.
Mallory and I have tried so many different restaurants that’s been popping up around our areas and we’ve never said “oh let’s come back here again” until that day. So this was a win for the both of us.
