Houston: The much-anticipated newcomer, Reef, is now delivering innovative seafood in a refreshingly unpretentious Midtown space, helping to reinforce the local trend of casualness in fine-dining restaurants. The popular Uptown Sushi spawned a spin-off, Blue Fin, and just as the appetite for sushi continues unabated, so does the trend for small plates, exemplified by new wine bar SoVino. Highlighting both those trends is Soma, which opened with a bang in early 2008 on increasingly bustling Washington Avenue with star chef Robert Gadsby. Another big name, Robert Del Grande, just launched The Grove in Downtown’s Discovery Green with Ryan Pera, formerly of nearby 17, at the helm. The suburbs welcomed a slew of stylish new eateries including Neapolitan-rooted Amici in Sugar Land with its Vallone family pedigree, French-influenced Aura in Missouri City and Pearland’s Killen’s Steakhouse.
