Canopy
|
In the modern atrium of the main dining room at Canopy hangs an oversize sculpture of intertwined wood beams, like a large aerial version of pick-up-sticks. The restaurant is modern and airy, and with large panels of Houston's stately old oaks adding to the subtle art gallery feel. The menu varies from salads (try the baby spinach and pulled chicken salad with frisee, radicchio, watercress, roasted red grapes, pears, pecans, roquefort and Banyuls vinaigrette), to burgers and sandwiches at lunch (don't miss the can't-eat-just-one thin-sliced fries) to heartier entrees like pastas and the buttermilk fried pork loin with mashed potatoes, grilled broccolini, and an awesome jalapeño-andouille gravy. But the true stand-outs are the appetizers, especially the mac and cheese with Applewood-smoked bacon bits and chives bathed in a gooey white cheddar and the simple-but-scrumptuous duet of grilled asparagus and wild mushrooms drizzled in truffle oil over toast.
Looking for a lunching lass? The crowd here is about 80% femme on any given day.
