Cafe Annie is a world-class restaurant that Houston is lucky to call its own. Created by renowned chef Robert Del Grande, it is the "fine dining flagship" of the Schiller Del Grande Restaurant Group, which also owns Cafe Express, Taco Milagro and Rio Ranch Steakhouse. The creations at Cafe Annie are nothing short of spectacular. Start things off with the Gulf Coast crab meat tostada or the black bean terrine with goat cheese. Move on to the mixed grill dinner entree, with veal, venison and muscovy duck. Paul Roberts, the only master sommelier in Texas, will help you pick the perfect wine to accompany the flavors. If you're in the mood for lighter fare, come in for botanitas at the bar, serving tapas-style items and specialty cocktails. (Photo: Phoebe Rourke)
