Best Quality Daughter houses a vibrant, chic décor and new, unique Asian-American menu. In 2018, chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, wanting to address the sparsity of Asian-American female chefs in South Texas, developed a new concept through a series of pop-up dinners called Best Quality Daughter with fellow chef Anne Ng and artist Jennifer Ling Datchuk. Today Best Quality Daughter is located in the historic Mueller House at the Pearl Brewery. Curated by chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, Best Quality Daughter's menu takes inspiration from her travels and the comfort food of her youth as a second-generation Chinese-American.

Located at the "Gateway to Southtown," the Historic and Majestic Firehouse #7 is home to Battalion. After a nearly two year renovation, "The Rock" has been restored as the crown jewel of Southtown. Overlooking the spectacular downtown cityscape and the famous Tower of Americas, Battalion's contemporary design merges perfectly alongside the historic building's strong, yet weathered 1920's craftsmanship. Chef Davis has created an extensive menu of fresh pastas, char-grilled meats, stunning vegetable dishes and Italian classics. Complimenting the menu is a comprehensive wine list and a refreshingly original cocktail program.

We had never been there before this. We were delighted at the quiet of the outdoor seat on the river; the food was super and the service (JC) was outstanding. What a very very nice evening. We will be coming back for sure!

First-time visitors, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal on the patio at Best Quality Daughter. We shared the “smallish” plates: Smashed Cucumbers, the Impossible Potstickers, and the Creamy Coconut Tom Yum Noodles. By then, we were stuffed and must stop here again for more amazing dishes! We also brought home T-shirts for our own three “best quality daughters.” Thank you for a fabulous time!
