ReikiNa in Houston

Delicious tasting menu. Felt like you were dining at a friend's home

Very cool tasting menu spot. They have a fixed menu which changes every few months. The food is expertly crafted for taste, presentation, etc. You are buying edible art. You can see pictures of the full tasting menu of what k ate at my meal in my review. Your food will likely be different since the menu changes every few months but that's part of the charm. Interior decor is casual but artistic. You can come dressed up or very low key and you'll fit in either way. City Center is a bit difficult to navigate and these guys do a great job with text messages prior telling you exactly where to park and how to find the restaurant. Kudos!Loved all my food. Loved the cocktails. Would definitely come back.

My wife and I visited on the last Saturday night of chef Tom’s first menu. We loved the entire experience and the food was wonderful. Some items were familiar and others unique. All were executed with exacting precision and presented beautifully. Perhaps the highest compliment I can offer is this...I cannot wait to go back.My wife and I settled into our table and waited for service to begin. Chef Tom addressed the room with background on his gastronomic journey and what Reikna, the word and the restaurant, mean to him. I love it when a chef reveals himself. After all, the food I enjoy the most has its own personality. I like to know where that’s coming from. The experience is starting to feel like I’m in chef Tom’s living room.As Tom wrapped up his opening remarks he asked everyone to take a moment of meditative gratitude. We all closed our eyes, took a few deep breaths and the chef asked us to think of things for which we are grateful. I thought this was a beautiful way to start dinner. Perhaps others felt uncomfortable or challenged by this moment of contemplation. If I had to guess what...
