Lucy Gascon and Fe Myrna Peña opened Salt & Pepper Restaurant located at 5068 Fifth Street in the heart of Katy in 2009. They have recently moved to their new location at 1st Street and Avenue D.

Both ladies came from Mexico, where they took cuisine classes in addition to their careers and families. Lucy was a legal assistant, and Fe Myrna was an architect. They met and soon became best friends. Their common interest in cooking and the shared dream of owning a restaurant led them to join forces to reach that goal. With the full support of their families, they started out as a party catering business before opening the restaurant in Katy in 2009. They grow their own fresh herbs, which are central to the delicious dishes they offer their patrons.

Two friends and I decided to give Salt and Pepper Restaurant a try. When we entered the restaurant all three of us felt this unexplainable calm. The decor, table arrangement, lighting, and music all made for a pleasant atmosphere to relax from a hectic week.

Excellent service from our waiter was an unexpected bonus. He was attentive, humorous, and catered to our every whim. Our glasses were kept full and our food was delivered at a timely manner.

Many have asked me if this is a kid-friendly place. Although I have three children of my own, and since I'm a single mother they are normally with me everywhere, I'll have to say that I would reserve this restaurant for a date night or adult get together. There are very few places in Katy where you can experience an island of calm. I think that was part of the draw for me. Everything was quiet and calm... something I rarely experience in my daily life. I was able to sit, talk and enjoy the delicious food without interuption.

I left knowing I would to return for not only the culinary excitement I found in my enchiladas, service that is rare in today's restaurants, but for the grown-up pleasures of fine dining without fuss. From the sliced bread with olive oil to the not so normal house salad to the green enchiladas that melted in my mouth, Salt and Pepper feels like an island of calm in our busy city of Katy.
