A b o u t

Perched on the eastern edge of Memorial Park, The Classic is a light-filled, fresh-faced American bistro with a touch of retro charm and a comfortable, everyday menu.

Benjy Levit brings Houston a no-rush, no-fuss neighborhood spot with beautiful, simple dishes done exceptionally well. The menu features the subtle flavors and techniques that have traveled across oceans and generations and the team’s own family tables. All rolled into one is an unabashedly American bill of goods, with a little something for everyone.
