Today Swamplot is brought to you by The Classic, the new restaurant at 5922 Washington Ave, at the edge of Rice Military. Thanks for supporting this site!

With The Classic, Benjy Levit — the restaurateur behind Local Foods and Benjy’s — brings Houston a no-rush, no-fuss neighborhood spot that pivots neatly from brunch to date-night cachet. The Classic is a fresh American bistro perched just east of Memorial Park. You’ll find a touch of retro inside the light-filled interior.

The Classic’s all-day menu is wide-ranging. It features subtle flavors and techniques that have traveled across oceans and generations — including the family tables of the team behind the restaurant: Favorites from chef Mike Potowski’s Lithuanian heritage — and from the healthy ingenuity of chef Maria Gonzalez — are rolled into one unabashedly American bill of goods; there’s a little something for everyone.

Scout out The Classic’s menu and hours, reviews, pics of its interior and dishes, or make reservations on the restaurant website.
