Modern, inventive and delectable food. What a great experience. Great service too.
We ate there Saturday night, family style in a reserved room. What an encredible ambience. Very retro prihibition vibe. Chef picked our dishes and did not disappoint. Every single morsel was delicious. Very innovative. You'll definitely find something unique to try. Would go there regularly if I lived in Houston. Cannot recommend highly enough.
I drank the sauce on the tuna dish with a straw. Holy cow.

Theodore Rex is a small, upscale restaurant located in a vibrant warehouse district, offering a cozy and intimate dining experience. The menu features dishes designed for sharing, with small plates allowing diners to explore a variety of flavors. Standout dishes include greens & beans, tomato toast, cured Japanese turnips, and raw oysters. The coconut chicken, glazed in coconut and accompanied by anchovy garlic chili ginger sauce, is highly recommended for its tenderness and flavor. The beef is also noted as very good. Diners can try the rice claypot, a dish where every spoonful brings a different flavor, or the fried rice with sliced abalone. The famous toast is also a popular choice. The flavors and textures of the shared plates complement each other well. Service is described as wonderful and thoughtful. Prices tend to be on the higher side, and reservations are advised. The warm and inviting atmosphere, enhanced by well-curated background music, changes from calm and comforting before sunset to intimate, moody and romantic after. This cozy setting with exposed brick and a relaxed vibe makes for a memorable dining experience.
