The legendary San Jacinto Inn, founded in 1917 as a small family-operated restaurant, was Ford’s favorite place to eat when he was a boy. Sadly, the Inn closed its doors in 1987. Thirty years later, Ford had a hankering for the Inn’s oysters and chicken dinners. So he recreated the recipe —— with his own special tweaks, of course —— and it was delicious. WALK INTO LA LUCHA AND FEEL RIGHT AT HOME. GULF GEMS and chicken dinners, the best you will find anywhere. With an open design and flexible floor plan, our space allows for your choice of florals and rentals to tailor to the ambiance of your liking to craft the perfect setting for your event!

Larry and Karen began to dream about magnificent vineyards and possibly even creating wine while traveling around Italy, France, Australia, New Zealand, and other exotic locations. When Wild Stallion Vineyards was founded in 2009, that goal became a reality! In 2008, Wild Stallion Vineyards planted a small test site of Blanc du Bois grapes, a variety of the widespread Vitis vinifera that is best suited to the Gulf Coast environment. Blanc des Bois grapes create a dry, fruity wine that has received numerous national and international prizes. We currently have nearly three acres of trees planted, and they are doing fantastically! We planted two more acres directly adjacent to the Event Center in the spring of 2015 to provide our guests a closer look at the vines. A vineyard is the most tranquil and lovely location for a wedding. Who wouldn't want to exchange vows in front of a vineyard? Wild Stallion Vineyards is Harris County's lone vineyard, so you won't find anything like it anywhere else. The Wild Stallion Event Center is the ideal location for your next birthday celebration, family gathering, business meeting, wedding, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or any other event that would benefit from a gorgeous vineyard backdrop. Our event space can accommodate up to 150 people, but a gathering of 125 people is perfect, especially if you want a huge dance floor. On-site food is provided by Wild Stallion Vineyards, which has a full commercial kitchen. All prices include complete room set-up and tear-down, 72-inch round tables, walnut chiavari chairs, china flatware and glassware, white linens, and more.

The lively spot brings elevated pizza combinations to Dallas as well as a robust martini program. Guests can look forward to foldable slices and crispy outer crust, the best martinis in town, and interiors that are a clash of relaxed sophistication and rowdy elegance. ABOUT THE SPACE The design from Harwood Design Factory has a refined playfulness yet is undoubtedly alluring and mischievous. Harwood International collaborated with Artist Uprising to create a whimsical, cheeky ceiling mural art paper that brings Poco Fiasco to life. Artist Uprising is a Dallas-based organization connecting up-and-coming artists with corporations and dedicated to enabling creativity to shape culture for the better. The mural depicts a feverish party turned fiasco combining favorite Harwood moments throughout the District. A few Harwood motifs are illustrated including Harwood Arms and Magnolias: Sous Le Pont as well as signature Harwood District design aspects such as the blue tree from Te Deseo, life-size chess board from Marie Gabrielle, the Rolex building and a few samurai to represent the Barbier-Mueller Samurai Collection. Just like the restaurants in Harwood, the interiors will transport you to another place and time miles away, yet conveniently tucked under an office tower.
