MAVEN at Sawyer Yards, the charming café-meets-bistro from Rex Hospitality, is welcoming the new season with a fresh batch of flavorful dishes designed to complement Houston’s warmer weather. Known for its artful blend of American cuisine and Spanish influence, MAVEN’s latest offerings from Chef Nico are a celebration of spring’s vibrant, sun-kissed ingredients.

At the top of the seasonal highlights is the Gazpacho Andaluz, a cool and refreshing chilled tomato soup that’s perfect for beating the Houston heat. It’s light, flavorful, and a true nod to Spanish tradition.

Among the dinner favorites is the Sole Meunière, a delicately pan-seared fish served with sautéed kale and crispy garlic chips — a dish that balances comfort with sophistication. Another standout is the French omelette, elevated with a buttery beurre blanc sauce and topped with luxurious caviar.

Cheeseburger

Brunch lovers will be thrilled to see new items hitting the menu. A classic cheeseburger makes its debut, promising to become a crowd favorite with its juicy simplicity. For those craving something heartier, the Pepito sandwich delivers — layered with tender sliced beef, white cheddar, caramelized onions, and aioli on a crusty baguette.

No MAVEN experience is complete without something sweet. The menu’s grand finale is a traditional Spanish flan, rich with baked vanilla custard and topped with a generous dollop of Chantilly cream.
