⭐️Michelin Star Worthy? We sure think so!

Step into the flames and flavors of @ishtiahtx, where Choctaw inspired Chef David Skinner @eculent brings Indigenous culinary traditions to life in a 20-course dining experience that’s unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. 🔥 With roots in North and South America’s Indigenous recipes and a deep connection to live-fire cooking, Ishtia is more than a restaurant—it’s a tribute to ancestral flavors, stories, and ingredients.

📌 @ishtiahtx
709 Harris Ave
Kemah Tx 77565

Begin your three-hour journey at Clear Creek Winery with a welcome drink and small bites, then step into the heart of Ishtia, where a wood hearth and open-fire kitchen set the stage. Each dish reflects Chef Skinner’s heritage and his travels, with seasonal menus changing four times a year to showcase different Indigenous influences. And while modern fusion trends continue to evolve, Ishtia stands out by honoring pure, authentic Native American cuisine—no shortcuts, no compromises, just the smoky, charred essence of tradition. 🪵🍃

There is also a wine tasting pairing optional as well ✨

Before it reaches the table, every detail starts here.

From the first prep to the final plate, our kitchen is built around precision, creativity, and a whole lot of care. The moments behind the scenes may be quiet, but they’re where the experience really begins.

Birthday festivities at the most whimsical, magical place! I know I’m late… but they deserve a post!😆 I’ll share other festivities in another post but this one deserved its very own! 😍 My sweet friend, @justlisa2015 took me to this amazing, creative, special local restaurant. @eculent It was so whimsical! Every single detail was so thought out… from the door knocker to the guest book on each table, to the thoughtfully created dishes… carefully plated… I mean the art and the heart behind every single thing was just unmatched! (The chef was a chemist… check out the video of the soup!) It was just the most magical experience!! I’m so thankful for friends in my life who not only love me but love me well! 🫶❤️ taken in eculent by @eculent

Vegetables deserve the main-character treatment too.

Roasted cauliflower, bold flavor, beautiful texture, and a plate that proves you do not need to overcomplicate something to make it unforgettable.

Thoughtful, seasonal, and unmistakably Eculent.

The best part of what we do will always be the people around the table.

Good food, great wine, conversation that stretches a little longer than expected — this is what an evening at Eculent is all about.

Come for the experience. Stay for the memories.

A little behind-the-scenes magic in the making. 🍄✨

At Eculent, even the simplest ingredients get the chance to become something unexpected. This is where the experience begins—long before it reaches your table.

Any guesses what we’re cooking up? 👀 by @eculent

Before Eculent, before the menus, and before Chef Skinner ever stepped into a professional kitchen, there was Grandma. 🤎

She was the one who first taught him how to cook—and helped spark a love for food that would eventually become a career.

Her photo has a special place at Eculent, a reminder that some of the best things we create begin with the people who taught us first. 👨‍🍳❤️ by @eculent

The details you don’t always see are often the ones that make the biggest difference. ✨

At Eculent, ingredients are given time to transform, infuse, and develop—because creating an experience starts long before anything reaches the table.

A little patience. A little science. A lot of flavor. 🧪🍽️ by @eculent
