I just realized that it’s almost been a month since I put up a review. Make no mistake, I still eat out A LOT. But since maintaining this food blog is my personal endeavor for pursuing positivity, I do not write about my disappointing restaurant experiences. Sadly, this Spring season, there has been a few. I refuse to waste words on what already has been a waste of calories.<\/p>\n

Luckily, we stumbled upon another Tilman Fertita joint his Post Oak Hotel compound, so here I am, writing again! There are a few restaurants in his establishment. Craft F&B is hard to miss. It’s the one next to the display of Rolls Royces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
It’s designed as a sports bar, with almost every detail just a tad better than the one you frequent in your neighborhood (unless your neighborhood is River Oaks)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
The Post Oak Margarita
Milagro Tequila \/ Fresh Lime Juice \/ Hibiscus Cordial<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
MAC & CHEESE MUFFINS – this is one glorious dish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Goat And Pig Pizza —
Boucheron Goat Cheese \/ Nueske\u2019s Lardon Arugula \/ Walnut & Honey Drizzle. The walnut is a surprising addition, it lends a very nice crunch and texture that you would not normally expect from a pizza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Craft Burger —
8oz. Single Thick Cut Patty \/ Pretzel Bun \/ Swiss Cheese
Saut\u00e9ed Onions \/ Mushrooms . The burger came out smoke-y. The pretzel bun was definitely a plus. I always thought that the waffle fries from Chik-Fil-A was pretty good, but this one is even better!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We ventured out to the French bakery next door called Bouchee Patisserie. They had a kick-ass coffee-maker which churned out concoctions that did not disappoint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I love how the crema on this is nice and thick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
D picked this dessert and forgot what it was called. It’s some sort of a chocolate mousse with salted caramel at the bottom of the crust. It’s divine!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s my Sunday Brunch! Not your typical brunch meal, but was good nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Craft F&B,\u00a01600 West Loop S, Houston, TX 77027<\/p>\n
