Houston Olympian Jordan Chiles celebrated her Olympic victory in style last weekend. One of the gymnasts who led the U.S. Women’s Team to an all-around gold medal, Chiles attended an “All Gold” event hosted by Ace of Spades Champagne at Juliet, the speakeasy-style steakhouse near the Galleria.

The athlete feasted on Juliet’s signature The Golden Star, a 36-ounce tomahawk ribeye wrapped in 24-karat gold. Priced at $350, it’s the restaurant’s most expensive dish.

Chiles paired her meal with sips of Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Brut Gold Champagne. Sporting her gold medal, the star athlete posed for pics shared by Juliet owner Jamie Allen.

Opened in February 2022, Juliet is a fine dining restaurant with a steakhouse-style menu that includes USDA Prime steaks, Gulf red snapper, and New Zealand lamb. The restaurant is known for its over-the-top decor that includes a movie theater-style concession stand in the lobby and a photo-worthy flower wall in the restroom.

The restaurant is no stranger to hosting celebs. According to press materials, it recently hosted Houston hero Megan Thee Stallion after her recent sold-out performances at Toyota Center. It also touts visits from Drake, Johnny Manziel, Bishop TD Jakes, and more.

Chiles made one of her first public appearances since the Olympics when she joined fellow gold medal winner Simone Biles at Friday night’s Astros game. On August 15, she posted a statement to Instagram about the controversial decision that stripped her of an individual bronze medal in the floor exercise.

there's the rub

Restaurant known for 'new Houston cuisine' now open in Cypress

A restaurant known for its eclectic “new Houston cuisine” has opened in Cypress. The fourth location of Jonathan’s the Rub is now open for dinner in Bridgeland (20215 Bridgeland Creek Parkway).

First announced last year, the new Jonathan’s is located in Village Green, a 70-acre mixed-use development within the 925-acre Bridgeland Central district. The 5,500-square-foot restaurant includes two patios totaling 2,600 square feet, giving the restaurant plenty of room for private dining rooms, a bar area, and indoor-outdoor areas with fire pits and greenery.

“We were looking for the next frontier — a community with a booming population and a clear vision for growth that aligns with our brand,” chef-owner Jonathan Levine said in a statement. “When we discovered Bridgeland and learned it was a Howard Hughes development, we were immediately impressed. With their reputation for developing generational communities, we felt confident that Bridgeland was the right place for our family and for Jonathan’s the Rub.”

Like Jonathan’s three other locations, the menu at Bridgeland is built around Levine’s signature “new Houston cuisine,” a kicked-up take on comfort food that includes everything from lobster tacos and blackened shrimp and grits to Italian American classics and steakhouse fare.

Village Green is also home to H-E-B and restaurants such as Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café and Crust Pizza Co. Austin-based burger joint P. Terry’s will open there next year.

“Jonathan’s the Rub’s arrival in Bridgeland Central brings a distinguished addition to the culinary scene in both the community and northwest Houston,” said Jim Carman, president of the Texas region, for Bridgeland developer Howard Hughes Communities. “We’re proud to partner with exceptional restaurateurs like Chef Jonathan Levine to bring elevated dining experiences that enhance the lifestyle offerings for our residents and neighbors.”
