Potente

Potente is where elegance meets energy in the heart of downtown Houston. Whether you're here for a celebratory dinner or cocktails at the lounge, we combine luxury with a lively atmosphere. Expect rich flavors, beautifully plated dishes, and a vibe that feels indulgent. Led by Chef Danny Trace, every dish uses the highest quality ingredients and when possible, we source locally. Our truffle pasta was featured as “One of the Best Pastas in the Country” by the Food Network. We have also been listed as “One of the Most Romantic Restaurants in Houston” by Eater Houston, the Houstonia and Thrillist, as well as one of the “Best Date Night Spots” by the Houston Chronicle and "One of the Most Romantic Bars to Impress Your Date in Houston.” Join us before or after an Astros game at our bar and lounge. We are just steps away from Daikin Park. Astros gear is permitted on game days only. Our attire is business casual. Shorts, hats, sneakers, torn clothing and sweat pants not permitted.
