Description

Position Title:

Restaurant Assistant General ManagerHandcrimping empanadas. Fishing before dawn on the Texas Gulf Coast. Cooking over south Texas campfires. These are the moments that have shaped the life of Goode Company President Levi Goode and infused his Houston restaurants with bona fide Texas soul and bold flavor aplenty. Levi is a classically trained chef and restauranteur, and he's been twice nominated for James Beard's Outstanding Restaurateur award. He's become known for translating his personal passions, travels, and family traditions into rich culinary experiences that bring people together—and his latest project is no exception.

Concept

While the spirit of the restaurant takes cues from luxury Texas ranch life and classic European techniques, the cooking revolves around an open woodfire hearth and woodburning oven designed by Levi himself. From caviar to pan de campo, the menu features genteel club classics with a playful Texas twist—an emphasis on fresh seafood and indigenous ingredients that celebrate the regional South. A lively, spacious main dining room will boast ample oldschool ambiance that reaches from the shaken martinis to the curated playlist. Tucked away and adjacent to the main dining room will be a reservationonly, supper clubinspired space that channels effortless glamor, understated nostalgia, and soulful swagger, drawing inspiration from the 1920's Texas oil boom.
