New Steakhouse Coming to Kings Harbor in Kingwood, TX
Table 7 Prime Steakhouse is planned for the Lake Houston waterfront. Here is what public filings and released information tell us about the chef, the ownership group and the roughly $1 million build-out.
The short version
An upscale steakhouse called Table 7 Prime Steakhouse is coming to Kings Harbor at 1660 W. Lake Houston Parkway, Suite 105. A state project filing describes a roughly 3,600-square-foot renovation at an estimated cost of about $1 million, with construction anticipated to wrap up around October 30, 2026. No grand-opening date has been announced yet.
If you have been hoping to see another upscale dining option come to Kingwood, Texas, there is some restaurant news developing along the Lake Houston waterfront.
And this does not appear to be a quick turnover of an existing space. Based on publicly available information surrounding the project, Table 7 Prime Steakhouse represents a meaningful investment in Kings Harbor and could become an interesting addition to the dining scene in The Livable Forest.

Where will Table 7 Prime Steakhouse be located?
The restaurant is coming to Kings Harbor, located along West Lake Houston Parkway near the intersection of Kingwood Drive. That location gives it something difficult to duplicate elsewhere in the Kingwood area: a setting along the water.
For those researching a move to Kingwood who are not yet familiar with the area, Kings Harbor is a mixed-use waterfront development overlooking Lake Houston and the San Jacinto River. It is home to restaurants, businesses, residences and community events, and its waterfront setting makes it one of the more distinctive dining areas in the Kingwood and Lake Houston communities.
One important distinction
A construction completion date is not the same thing as a restaurant opening date. As of this writing, no official grand opening has been announced, and timelines on projects like this can and often do shift.
What was in this space before?
The suite has been through a few identities. Here is how the space has changed hands.
-
EARLIER
The Tasting Room
The location has a longer connection to food and wine, having previously been associated with The Tasting Room.
-
THROUGH EARLY 2025
Don't Axe
Most recently the suite was associated with the Don't Axe entertainment concept, which closed in early 2025.
-
NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Table 7 Prime Steakhouse
The space is being reimagined again, this time as an upscale steakhouse with a roughly $1 million renovation.
Who is the chef behind Table 7 Prime Steakhouse?
One of the more interesting pieces of the Table 7 story is Executive Chef Thomas Nguyen. According to information released by Kings Harbor, Nguyen is a Le Cordon Bleu graduate with more than 20 years of hospitality experience.
His background reportedly spans:
- Fine dining
- Upscale-casual restaurants
- Luxury hotels
- High-volume hospitality
- Restaurant openings
- Executive chef roles
For Table 7 Prime Steakhouse, the culinary direction is expected to focus on premium steaks, high-quality ingredients and genuine hospitality.
That combination could be particularly interesting for Kingwood. The Kingwood and Lake Houston area has no shortage of restaurants, but residents looking for a higher-end steakhouse experience have often had additional options available by driving toward The Woodlands or into Houston. Table 7 could give local diners another upscale choice much closer to home, with a waterfront atmosphere that is distinctly Kings Harbor.
Curious how Kings Harbor fits with the Kingwood neighborhoods you are considering?
Ask JeremyIs this connected to Table 7 Bistro in Houston?
That was one of the first questions we had as well. Houston already has a restaurant called Table 7 Bistro, so it is reasonable to wonder whether Table 7 Prime Steakhouse represents an expansion or a new version of that concept.
What the records show
- The Kingwood project's owner of record is Siete Family Enterprises LLC.
- Mario Cediel is listed as the project contact.
- Cediel is associated with Cediel Concession Management, a Houston-area hospitality and concessions company.
What is still unconfirmed
- We have not found reliable evidence that the Kingwood steakhouse is an expansion of Table 7 Bistro in Houston.
- No public statement explains the origin of the name.
- No menu, pricing, hours or reservation platform has been released.
Who is behind the new Kingwood steakhouse?
Mario Cediel is associated with Cediel Concession Management, a Houston-area family-owned hospitality and concessions company.
The company says it began operations at Houston's William P. Hobby Airport in 2015 and subsequently expanded into George Bush Intercontinental Airport. According to the company's history, it now operates more than 20 locations across Houston's two major airports. Its portfolio has included operations involving nationally recognized food and beverage concepts as well as proprietary and local concepts.
That matters because it suggests the people behind Table 7 Prime Steakhouse are not entering restaurant operations for the first time. They are bringing experience running food and beverage businesses in environments where volume, consistency, service and execution matter. Table 7 Prime Steakhouse, however, appears to be something different: a standalone upscale restaurant concept in the Kingwood community.
Is there a meaning behind the name "Table 7"?
Here is an interesting detail. The ownership entity listed on the state project filing is Siete Family Enterprises LLC, and "siete" is Spanish for seven.
Siete. Seven. Table 7.
An interesting coincidence, not a confirmed origin story.
Is that where the restaurant's name came from? We have not found a public statement from the owners confirming the connection, so we are not going to present it as fact. But it is another reason we are inclined to view Table 7 Prime Steakhouse as its own concept rather than assuming it is related to Houston's similarly named Table 7 Bistro.
A $1 million investment in a new Kingwood restaurant
One of the more encouraging pieces of information for the Kingwood community is the scale of the project. According to the state filing, the renovation carries an estimated construction cost of approximately $1 million. For a roughly 3,600-square-foot restaurant, that is a substantial build-out.
We have not yet seen the finished interior, the final menu or the complete restaurant concept. But that level of investment suggests ownership has significant plans for the space. Combine it with an experienced hospitality group, a Le Cordon Bleu-trained executive chef and one of Kingwood's most recognizable waterfront locations, and Table 7 Prime Steakhouse becomes a restaurant worth watching.
What could Table 7 bring to Kingwood's dining scene?
Kingwood has changed considerably over the years. One of the things we love about living in the area is that Kingwood still retains so much of the wooded environment that earned it the nickname "The Livable Forest."
At the same time, the community continues to evolve. New restaurants open. Businesses arrive. Older spaces are reinvented. And residents gain additional options without having to leave the Lake Houston area.
Table 7 Prime Steakhouse could fill a niche for residents looking for a more elevated local dining experience:
- An anniversary dinner without driving into Houston
- Dinner with clients close to home
- Celebrating a birthday, a promotion or a closing
- Meeting friends for steaks and wine
- Or simply enjoying a nice dinner near the water at Kings Harbor
We will not know exactly where Table 7 fits into the Kingwood restaurant landscape until the doors open, the menu is released and people have an opportunity to experience it. But the concept certainly sounds promising.
One more reason to call The Livable Forest home
If you are researching moving to Kingwood, TX, restaurants might not be the first thing you look into. You are probably studying homes, neighborhoods, commute times, schools, property taxes, flood considerations, healthcare, recreation and the overall cost of living. Those are the right places to start.
But restaurants, shopping, entertainment and community gathering places are part of everyday life too. Where you meet friends on a Friday night, where you take out-of-town guests, where you mark the milestones — those places shape how a community actually feels to live in.
That is why we cover stories like this on Moving to Kingwood TX. We want this site to be more than a collection of listings. We want it to help you understand what it is like to live in Kingwood, Texas.
Kings Harbor is part of that story. So are Town Center, Kingwood's greenbelts and trail system, Lake Houston, local restaurants, community events and the businesses that continue investing in the area. Table 7 Prime Steakhouse is another piece of an evolving community that still holds onto much of the character that has defined Kingwood for decades — and one more reason people continue choosing The Livable Forest as the place they call home.
When is Table 7 Prime Steakhouse opening?
As of the latest information available, an official opening date has not been announced. The Texas project filing lists an anticipated construction completion date of October 30, 2026, so we will be watching for additional announcements about the menu, reservations and grand opening. As with any restaurant under construction, timelines can change, and we will update this story as more information becomes available.
Buying, selling or investing in Kingwood, Texas?
New restaurants like Table 7 are one more reason people are choosing to call The Livable Forest home. If Kingwood is on your list, let's talk about your goals, your timeline and the neighborhoods that fit what you are looking for.

Table 7 Prime Steakhouse: frequently asked questions
Everything we have been able to confirm about the new Kings Harbor steakhouse, in one place.
What is Table 7 Prime Steakhouse?
Table 7 Prime Steakhouse is a new upscale steakhouse concept planned for the Kings Harbor waterfront development in Kingwood, Texas. Public project information points to a premium steak-focused menu led by an executive chef with a fine dining and luxury hotel background. It is being built out as a standalone restaurant rather than a franchise of an existing national chain, and the scale of the renovation suggests a full upscale dining concept rather than a casual quick-service space.
Where will Table 7 Prime Steakhouse be located in Kingwood, TX?
The restaurant is planned for 1660 W. Lake Houston Parkway, Suite 105, Kingwood, Texas, inside Kings Harbor. Kings Harbor sits along West Lake Houston Parkway near the intersection of Kingwood Drive, overlooking Lake Houston and the San Jacinto River. It is one of the most recognizable dining and entertainment destinations in the Lake Houston area and is reachable within a short drive from most Kingwood villages.
When is Table 7 Prime Steakhouse opening?
No official grand-opening date has been announced as of this writing. A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project filing lists an anticipated construction completion date of October 30, 2026. A construction completion date is not the same as an opening date, and restaurants commonly open weeks or months after construction wraps up while they finish hiring, training, inspections and menu development. We will update this page when an opening date is announced.
Who is the chef at Table 7 Prime Steakhouse?
Information released by Kings Harbor identifies Thomas Nguyen as executive chef. Nguyen is described as a Le Cordon Bleu graduate with more than 20 years of hospitality experience spanning fine dining, upscale-casual restaurants, luxury hotels, high-volume operations, restaurant openings and executive chef roles. The stated culinary direction centers on premium steaks, high-quality ingredients and hospitality.
Who owns Table 7 Prime Steakhouse in Kingwood?
Public project records list Siete Family Enterprises LLC as the owner of the Kingwood restaurant project, with Mario Cediel named as the contact. Cediel is associated with Cediel Concession Management, a Houston-area family-owned hospitality and concessions company. That company says it began operations at William P. Hobby Airport in 2015, later expanded into George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and now operates more than 20 locations across Houston's two major airports.
Is Table 7 Prime Steakhouse related to Table 7 Bistro in Houston?
We have not found reliable evidence establishing a connection between the two. Houston has a restaurant called Table 7 Bistro, and the similar name naturally raises the question, but the Kingwood project's ownership entity of record is Siete Family Enterprises LLC. Until the owners or either restaurant confirms a relationship publicly, the responsible answer is that the Kingwood steakhouse appears to be its own concept.
What does the name "Table 7" mean?
The owners have not publicly explained the name. One notable detail is that the ownership entity on the state filing is Siete Family Enterprises LLC, and "siete" is Spanish for seven. That lines up neatly with "Table 7," but no public statement confirms the connection, so it should be treated as an interesting coincidence rather than a confirmed origin story.
How big is the Table 7 Prime Steakhouse space and what is it costing to build?
The state project filing describes a renovation of approximately 3,600 square feet with an estimated construction cost of roughly $1 million. For a restaurant of that size, this is a substantial build-out and generally signals a finished, detail-heavy interior rather than a light refresh of the existing space.
What was in the Table 7 Prime Steakhouse space before?
The suite was most recently associated with Don't Axe, an entertainment concept that closed in early 2025. Before that, the location had a longer history tied to food and wine and was associated with The Tasting Room. The space is now being reimagined again, this time as a steakhouse.
What is Kings Harbor in Kingwood, Texas?
Kings Harbor is a mixed-use waterfront development along West Lake Houston Parkway in Kingwood, overlooking Lake Houston and the San Jacinto River. It includes restaurants, businesses, residences and space for community events. Its position on the water gives it an atmosphere that is hard to replicate elsewhere in the Kingwood area, and it has become one of the community's better-known gathering spots.
Does Kingwood have other upscale dining options?
Kingwood and the surrounding Lake Houston area have a wide range of restaurants, from local independents to national chains, concentrated around Kingwood Drive, Town Center, Northpark Drive and Kings Harbor. Residents seeking a higher-end steakhouse experience have historically had additional options available by driving toward The Woodlands or into Houston. A local upscale steakhouse would give diners another choice closer to home. Restaurant lineups change over time, so it is worth checking current hours and offerings directly.
Will Table 7 Prime Steakhouse take reservations, and is a menu available?
No menu, pricing, hours or reservation platform has been publicly released as of this writing. Those details typically arrive closer to opening. Once the restaurant announces them, we plan to update this page so people researching Kingwood dining have the current information in one place.
How far is Kings Harbor from the Kingwood villages?
Kings Harbor sits along West Lake Houston Parkway near Kingwood Drive, which places it within a short drive of most of Kingwood's villages, including areas such as Kings Point, Bear Branch, Mills Branch, Fosters Mill, Sand Creek, Trailwood and Woodland Hills. Actual drive times vary by exact address and time of day, and are best confirmed with a live mapping tool for the specific property you are considering.
Why does restaurant news matter when you are researching a move to Kingwood?
Homes, schools, taxes, commute times and flood history should drive the bulk of your research. But everyday amenities influence how a place feels once you are living there. New investment in dining, retail and gathering spaces is one signal among many that a community continues to attract businesses. It is one data point, not a substitute for reviewing property-specific facts, and it should be weighed alongside everything else on your list.
