Food Scene
Les Givral's
2704 Milam StCheap, delicious Vietnamese gem
Creation of acclaimed chef Chris Shepherd. Good for groups to sample a huge amount of food, family-style. A bit pricy, but worth it if you're splurging.
Menu updated daily and is truly a taste of Houston. Let the waiter choose your dishes for you and relax.
