Houston is losing one of its glitziest restaurants and special events venues.

Mr. Peeples, the over-the-top seafood and steakhouse in Midtown, will close its doors March 28.

Housed in a former 1950s Boy Scouts building on Bagby, the restaurant turned heads with its Las Vegas-style decor. When the restaurant opened in July 2013, my colleague Greg Morago described its interiors as “an unapologetic wallop of crystal, gold leaf, colored lights, flashy textiles, glass and glitter.”

RELATE: All that glitters isn't gold at Mr. Peeples.

“We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve Houstonians and have strived to set ourselves apart from other steakhouses with our extensive seafood program and innovative and unique design. We look forward to emerging as an exciting new venue in the near future,” Landmark Hospitality Group COO Joe Lenahan said in a release.

In other closing news, March 18 will mark the last day of service for S&S Steaks & Spirits in Richmond.

The restaurant’s co-owner Susan Cannata told customers via social media, “while we accomplished our goal of bringing a quality establishment to our neighborhood, the necessary commitment of time and resources and the ability to pursue other business opportunities has resulted in our decision not to seek a renewal of our lease.”

You still have a few days to try both restaurants.
