Few things elevate an evening of dining out like an impressive caviar presentation, and huddling over a thoughtfully-prepared spread is a fine way to kick off a meal with friends. The roe of wild sturgeon produces a salty bite, enhanced only with a boozy beverage and proper accouterments like chunky, chopped egg and tart capers — making sure each mouthful is better than the last.

While many places offer a traditional spread, some are leveling up the experience with innovative combinations, like caviar-topped tater tots and loaded caviar tacos. And in a city like Houston with a healthy balance of time-honored restaurants and exciting newcomers, it has never been a better time to experience imaginative takes on the costly snack.

For when there is cause for celebration, or simply a caviar craving of epic proportions, consider these 17 destinations.

Fast food is made fancy at Riel, where in addition to a seriously solid caviar service, chef Ryan Lachaine puts a playful twist on house-made tater tots by topping them with caviar.
