After seven years on Houston's dining scene, Pass & Provisions, 807 Taft St., Houston, announced it will close after its last service on May 25. "Owning a restaurant is very much (to us) like having a child. There’s the upfront excitement, the agony of the name, the big reveal and then the work," the owners said in a Facebook post. "You are a part of our family, which is why this part of our story is so hard to write." The dual-restaurant concept offered multi-course fine dining at Pass, which went on a hiatus in April, and popular casual fare at Provisions. 713-628-9020. www.passandprovisions.com
