Hypsi is located inside the new boutique establishment, Hotel Daphne.

The overview

Run by Chef Terrence Gallivan, a two-time James Beard Award nominee in Houston, Hypsi is a new full-service restaurant and lounge in the Houston Heights.

The restaurant offers Italian-style fare, with dishes such as crispy skin vermillion snapper, accompanied by a fresh herb salsa verde and a table-side mozzarella cart that serves multiple types of cheeses.

“I’m honored to introduce Hypsi to the Heights and to be part of Hotel Daphne’s opening chapter,” Gallivan said in a Sept. 3 news release. “This is an incredible opportunity to cook for a city I love in a neighborhood with such a unique story, and my hope is that Hypsi becomes a place where locals and visitors alike will return time and time again—whether to celebrate one of life’s special moments, to simply enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal, or to linger over cocktails and conversation with loved ones.”

One more thing

Hypsi serves breakfast, dinner and cocktails daily, and the restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating surrounded by greenery, with a bar designed for aperitivo-style service, according to company representatives.
