Blue Onyx Bistro

Taking three things Houstonians love and combining them into one concept is what makes Blue Onyx Bistro the perfect choice for any palate. Combining seafood, steak and sushi in a refined atmosphere, Blue Onyx Bistro describes itself as the 'ultimate dining experience like no other,' which is no wonder with Chef David Chang at the helm.

The sushimi and sashimi menu includes more than 20 sushi rolls and items like an ahi tuna tower, escargot, mussels, sashimi and nigiri options like maguro, Hamachi and escolar. Head to the main course menue for delectable bites like the grouper and bacon-wrapped scallops, the seafood cioppino, roasted prime rib and the dry-aged ribeye steak.

The Happy Hour menu is perfect for some lighter bites all under $4 and all drinks under $7. The cocktail menu is robust with classics like the French 75 and their shared drink, the Scorpion Bowl. There's also a special Tiki drink menu if you need to feel like you're on island time.

The sleek bar area offers ample bar space with televisions to watch any big game. The dining room area is large, but intimate, with a beautiful wine cellar on display. Also open for lunch, dinners and happy hour on most days, Blue Onyx Bistro is great for work lunches, post-work drinks and large groups.
