For 35 years, Willie G’s has been a Houston institution for everything seafood. Billion Dollar Buyer Tilman Fertita breathed new life to it by relocating it to his Post Oak Hotel in Uptown Houston and transformed it into a world-class seafood restaurant.
Now for the main eats…
I have to take a moment to expound on the desserts. First off, they’re amazing. Second, they’re super cheap. Each of the dessert is ten bucks. Unthinkable considering how posh the whole place is.
These beignets are heavenly. It’s freshly made, came out piping hot and freshly powdered. All three sauces are awesome, but my favorite was the caramel.
Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
These are big portions. We had to box half of each to take home. I will come back to this restaurant just for the desserts alone. I was invited to join them for brunch tomorrow and I am already seriously considering it since it was promised that desserts are available all day.
Once again, i’m grateful to be living in this city with such a vibrant restaurant scene. As it is, Houston is teeming with seafood restaurants already, but this is definitely a solid addition, and should rightfully take its usual place as one of the city’s finest.
