First I need to straighten this out: *17 is way too fancy for me.
I went to this super chic downtown restaurant as a part of Houston's Restaurant Week, which is actually two weeks long, where participating restaurants offer 3-course prix fixed meals for $35 (http://www.houstonrestaurantweek.com/Menus-2009.htm). *17 also offered wine-pairings with each course for $25.
My meal was as follows:
Coastal Napoleon
Fried green tomato, gulf lump crab, *17 remoulade
& micro greens
Fried Quail and Waffles
Tomatoes and okra, maple reduction, pepper jelly
Masumoto Peach Soufflé
Crème Anglaise, peach chips
Also! If you happen to be in DC, the restaurant week is August 24 - 30th (http://washington.org/restaurantwk/). Many of its participating restaurants will be offering 3-course lunches as well. Lucky me, I'll be back in DC on the 23rd!
