Restaurant: Straits

800 West Sam Houston Pkwy N
Houston, Texas 77024

I went to Straits for the second time a couple of months ago and my experience this time around was far superior to the first time. It really is all about ordering the right dishes and what perception you are left with. Buddha was in town so he arranged a dinner for a few of us to meet up. I think he even picked up the tab so thanks guy! He and wonder woman were fighting for the check while the rest of us excused ourselves and hid in the restroom. Teehee. So many of the dishes were so good that I actually want to go back to eat there whereas that was not my feeling before. After dinner, we caroused in the lounge area for a bit. Living On A Prayer came on and wonder woman and I started singing and dancing in the middle of the crowd. Big poppa bought a round of patron shots so we all took a shot with the group and then had to leave cos we had to wake up early the next day. Ugh. What a waste of shot.
