The Restaurant at Hotel Derek Houston Galleria

"The property also features a sleek restaurant serving updated comfort food such as chicken and waffles and lobster pot pie, and a bar pouring wine and Southern-influenced specialty cocktails"

"Loyalists "love the location" of this modern choice near the Galleria, insisting it's a "best-kept secret" with a "great" crew and "well-kept rooms" done up in bold colors and patterns; "disappointed" detractors bemoan "lots of traffic noise" plus "loud music" from the "club atmosphere" in the lobby bar, but with a terrace pool and an on-site restaurant to sweeten the deal, the majority concludes it's "very nice overall"

"The scene-y Bistro Moderne restaurant and bar closed in late 2007; new concepts are on the drawing board at this writing"

"Trendy interiors include a modern restaurant and a bar serving tasty Texan fare as well as craft beer, and there's a small outdoor pool and a fitness center"

"  For dining options, there's the house restaurant Revolve Kitchen — a casual spot serving classic American and hearty Southern fare"
