The restaurant represented the biggest food and beverage lease of 2024 in the Houston market. The New American cuisine restaurant has a collection of dining and entertaining spaces, including a 50-seat bar and a nearly quarter-acre garden courtyard.

“Mack Allen’s represents everything I’ve learned over the past 15 years in hospitality and the opportunity to take that experience to another level,” McDonald said in a press release.

“My goal was to create the kind of restaurant that becomes part of people’s lives — a place where you can celebrate a milestone, close a deal, enjoy an incredible meal with friends or simply have a great night out.” 

Features also include a raw bar and sushi program, a 1,000-bottle wine collection, a 2K SF lobby lounge and multiple rooms for up to 70-person private events. 

The project team included Montgomery Roth Architecture & Interior Design and Stephen Huerta of Richmond-based Lone Star Lawnscapes.
