Late August is a Michelin Guide-recommended restaurant in Houston's Ion District, opened in 2024 by chef and restaurateur Chris Williams (of Lucille's Hospitality Group), with Sergio Hidalgo as executive chef. Named for the nostalgic Sears holiday catalog once released at summer's end, it serves an Afro-Mexican fusion menu drawing on produce from Lucille's 1913 garden in Kendleton, Texas. In September 2025 the restaurant relaunched with a redesigned dining room and lounge, offering a multi-course tasting menu, a cocktail lounge serving the full à la carte menu, and a private dining room. It was named one of Esquire's Best New Restaurants. Alongside its cocktail program, Late August offers named non-alcoholic drinks; per CultureMap, options have included the Savannah (herbed peach syrup, candied ginger beer) and the Nopalito (prickly pear, orange juice, habanero tincture, Tajín rim).
