    Embrace the warm and welcoming spirit of autumn as you gather with your loved ones at The Post Oak Hotel for its inaugural Thanksgiving Fall Harvest. It's a heartfelt orchestra of flavors and culinary craftsmanship, extending a warm invitation to relish the essence of the season.

    This Thanksgiving, the hotel will undergo a charming transformation into a bustling fall market, featuring a delightful variety of action stations, each carefully curated by executive chef Jean-Luc Royere and executive pastry chef Oralia Perez.

    You'll discover exciting options in every corner, with Stella's Wine Bar becoming the Wine Vineyard, Bouchée Patisserie transforming into the Sweets from the Orchard Boutique, and numerous other enticing stations to explore.

    "When our culinary team envisioned the magical transformation of our hotel into a fall market, it was fueled by a heartfelt commitment to celebrating the profound impact food has on bringing people together at Thanksgiving" says Chef Jean-Luc.

    Upon your arrival, a delightful welcome drink is ready to greet you and set the tone for the day's festivities.

    The Tide's Catch station, showcasing exquisite seafood like East Coast oysters and Gulf shrimp, is a true treasure trove of ocean delights.

    The Greens and Fall Nuts Market is a tapestry of fall colors and textures, with offerings like endives and Stilton blue cheese, alongside a vibrant kale salad with apples, dry cherries, candied walnuts, and the holiday favorite, roasted chestnuts.

    The Sushi Sea Harvest boasts spicy tuna, salmon, vegetarian, avocado, and shrimp creations, while the Charcuterie Corner features prosciutto sliced to perfection and an array of terrines and pickled vegetables.

    Savor a curated selection of six cheeses and wine jam at the Cheese Nook, and let the aroma of freshly baked bread waft from the Breadsmith's Oven. The Soups Kettle tempts with pumpkin and minestrone delights.

    For the pièce de résistance, the Grand Roast Harvest Table offers the traditional grandeur of turkey carving, bourbon-glazed ham, herb-roasted Prime rib, salt-crusted whole Atlantic salmon, and more.

    Accompanying these delectable dishes are a symphony of fall harvest vegetables, risotto, potatoes, and other exceptional sides to go along with your Thanksgiving feast.

    Finally, the aforementioned Sweets from the Orchard Boutique offers an irresistible selection of pies, s'mores, roasted apples with vanilla ice cream, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and warm apple cobbler, along with other handmade sweet masterpieces from the hotel's award-winning pastry team.

    Children will be entertained at the Fall Fair, featuring fall-themed crafts and other activities to add to their excitement. Before your departure, a photo opportunity will be set up for your family to enjoy and commemorate the special day.

    For reservations of 11 or more or a private family celebration, please contact 346-227-5041.Valet parking is complimentary.
    Tickets are available here.

    A family-friendly bar, restaurant, and playground is starting to take shape where River Oaks meets Montrose. When it opens in early 2026, Recess will offer a number of amenities designed to appeal to busy families.

    Recess will give kids a place to play.

    Located in a former bank building at 1500 Waugh Dr., Recess is a 12,500-square-foot, two-story venue that’s designed for parents and kids. At its heart is a supervised play area created by Houston design firm Rootlab that will allow kids to romp in a creative, colorful environment. Since the play area will be supervised by Recess’ staff (described in press materials as “highly trained caregivers”), parents are free to have a bite to eat and sip a drink in the facility’s second-story restaurant. Recess’ owners portray the concept as a win-win that gives kids a break from screen time while allowing adults to have a little break from the responsibilities of childcare.

    “As parents, we know how hard it can be to find balance — to stay connected to your spouse, your friends, or even just yourself while raising young kids,” co-founder Jonathan Davy said in a statement. “Recess was born from that everyday reality. We wanted to create a space that makes that truly possible — a secure environment where kids can play freely while adults can genuinely breathe for a minute without feeling like they’re on duty.”

    Recess will offer families a range of price points, including hourly rates, multi-visit packages, and long term memberships. Towards that end, it will soon offer a limited number of “Founder Memberships” that come with perks such as priority reservations and early booking for private events.

    Details on the food and drink offerings have yet to be finalized, but Recess promises its adult-oriented spaces will match the quality of its playground. Towards that end, the owners have retained hospitality consultant Scott Sulma to develop that aspect of its offerings. Prior to going out on his, Sulma worked as the general manager of Tony’s and as the area director for Baltimore-based Atlas Restaurant Group’s Houston operations (Loch Bar, Azumi, Marmo).

    “Recess is about reclaiming family time — making it easier, more joyful and more meaningful,” added co-founder Paul Rice “Our goal from the start was to take the stress out of family outings and give parents a chance to unwind and be present.”
