2 miles away. Here's a recent review (April 2016): Not only was this an experience because of the quality of food that I had today but also because of the service and atmosphere. I have been to some of the top restaurants in the world and this little place is second to none, I mean nobody, none, zip ziltch zero nobody!
Also, the food kept coming until you told them to stop! Be afraid not to try this place, be very afraid.
Would definitely recommend. I gave it 5 stars only because Yelp won't let me give it 10 stars.

The excellent exhibits of the Houston Museum of Natural Science allow visitors to experience science and nature from the time of the dinosaurs right up to the space age. In addition to its extensive collections of fossils, dinosaur bones, gems, and ancient artifacts from Egypt and North America, the museum also boasts a planetarium, a butterfly center, and a huge movie screen (try to plan your visit to coincide with one of the fun "sing-along" movies). Other notable highlights are its ever-changing temporary exhibits, along with educational and entertainment programs. Opened in 1909, this excellent attraction consistently ranks as one of the country's top non-Smithsonian museums.

About 25 miles southeast of Houston on the west side of Clear Lake, the Houston Space Center - the official Visitor Center of NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center - is the city's most important tourist attraction. Little wonder, as this is the home of the world-famous Mission Control, the monitoring center for all NASA manned space flights. The Visitor Center boasts an excellent space exhibition with film shows, models of space capsules, astronauts' rations, samples of moon rock, and a variety of objects collected during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space programs. Visitors can try on astronaut helmets, steer a spacecraft in a fun simulator, wander around huge rockets, and even have lunch with a real astronaut.

10 miles away find Houston's Menil Collection is a group of museums housing the large art collections of founders John and Dominique de Menil. All told, the four sites - one of the largest private collections in the US - house more than 17,000 important paintings and sculptures, along with prints, drawings, old books, and photos. Perhaps the most popular collection is the Byzantine Fresco Chapel, home to the only intact Byzantine frescoes in the western hemisphere. Stolen from a Turkish chapel, the 13th-century frescoes were later discovered and rescued by the Menil Foundation and, with permission from the Church of Cyprus, were fully restored by the Foundation. Also worth visiting is the Rothko Chapel with its rich tapestries by Russian-American artist Mark Rothko.

The Children's Museum of Houston, founded by a group of parents in 1980, is a must-do for those traveling with kids. Crammed full of fun, hands-on exhibits related to science and technology, history and culture, health and human development, the museum offers plenty of opportunities for youngsters to let-loose and explore. Highlights include robot building in the Invention Convention area, pretending to read the news on TV, run a business, and even get elected as Mayor of Kidtropolis.
