Budget: Barnaby's on W. Gray
Moderate: Feast on Westheimer
Sushi: Osaka on Westheimer
Fusion: Gravitas on Taft
Greek: Chatter's on Waugh
Burger: Lankford Grocery Midtown
Pricey (ish): tie: Ibiza in Midtown, Catalan on Washington
Thai: Golden Room on Montrose
BYOB: Lucio's on Taft
Cafe: Tart Cafe on Montrose
Eclectic: Hobbit Cafe on Richmond
Italian: Sorrento on Westheimer
Lebanese: Aladdin on Montrose
Pizza: Star Pizza on Washington

Meditteranean: Wael's (Clear Lake)

Mexican: Taqueria Del Sol (SE side 45/610)

Great pizza in the Medical Center was The Pisa Pie, but not sure if it's there anymore.

I have to throw in the local chain Timmy Chan for $4, greasy Chinese-American fast food. Found exclusively in hoods near you.

Chinese-Teacup Cafe Beltway 8 Beechnut
Vietnamese-Noodle House Sugar Land/Eldridge Rd. (and I have tried a LOT of places)
Pricey-Any ideas would be great, I have found Houston to be a good overall restaurant town but not a 5 star restaurant kind of town
Pizza-Star (either location)

Italian-yet to find a good authentic place. Maggiano's is the best we have found, which is kind of a sad testament.
And Tex-Mex/Mexican there are just way too many to mention. Probably would be better to list the bad ones!

Pisa Pie is still around but it's now inside a gas station.

Star Pizza is overrated and overpriced....
