THE Q&A
Q: How often does the kitchen have fresh fish flown in - and where around the globe are the most outrageous locations deliveries come from?
A: We have our fish flown in 4 to 5 times a week. All of our Mediterranean fish comes from Greece. We source our Langoustines from New Zealand and Dover sole is flown from Holland. There is not a part of the globe that Chef will not reach to source the highest quality product. We are adamant about upholding the best quality on all of our products.
Q: Let’s talk Mediterranean classics. Tell us about the top three signature dishes that locals keep coming
back for.
A: We are known for our fresh fish market and all of its unique offerings from Branzino to Kona Kampachi. The guests love our Charred Grilled Octopus as well. I have heard many times it is the best in Houston. Our Maryland Crab Cakes are a big hit as well. We have had guests travel all the way from Austin to try them. Chef keeps the menu fresh and fun by rotating with the seasons.
Q: Any new items on the menu we should be excited to try?
A: For the fall menu, Chef created a dish that people are very excited about. Our sablefish with a Greek honey glaze, porcini tea, and wild mushrooms. A very buttery fish and a dish full of Umami. The Chilean Seabass with Florina peppers sourced from Greece with crisp chickpeas is a big hit with our guests. At the bar, our bar lead, Spencer Ellison, just debuted an entirely new drink menu utilizing many Texas products in the recipes.
Q: Who doesn’t love a power lunch?! Give us a taste of what’s in this new offering.
A: With all our neighbors in the District and surrounding areas visiting us during lunch, we are working on a new, exciting menu addition that will not only highlight some of the many favorites on the menu, but will also allow for an expedient special menu that can be enjoyed in a lunch hour or more relaxed if there is time to enjoy the beauty of Ouzo Bay.
Q: Ouzo at night is a real vibe, transforming through your live entertainment. Tell us more about the sounds and when to tune in…
A: We have the live music stylings of Chris Goodwin every Thursday night from 6pm until 10 pm. On Friday and Saturday night, we have a DJ helping guide you experience from 8pm until midnight. DJ Athenz on Friday and DJ Nimbus on Saturday help create an environment that is perfect for delectable dinner and set the tune for cocktails in the lounge.
