Table 7 Prime Steakhouse Now Targeting January Opening at Kings Harbor

Kingwood residents looking forward to a new waterfront dining option will need to wait a little longer.

Table 7 Prime Steakhouse, the upscale restaurant planned for Kings Harbor, is now targeting January 2027 for its opening.

The restaurant is taking over the former Don't Axe space along the waterfront.

Plans include an approximately 3,600-square-foot dining space featuring premium steaks, carefully selected ingredients and an elevated dining experience.

Executive Chef Thomas Nguyen brings more than two decades of hospitality and fine-dining experience to the project.

Earlier construction filings indicated work could conclude near the end of October. However, Kings Harbor's official website now identifies January 2027 as the anticipated opening period.

Status: Under development. Not yet open.

An exact grand-opening date has not been announced.

The restaurant will add another dining option to the Kings Harbor waterfront area, which continues to evolve following years of redevelopment and changing tenants. Kings Harbor

Katie's Pick: Discover the Kingwood Photo Club

If you're looking for something a little different this week, tonight's Kingwood Photo Club meeting would be my pick.

There's something special about discovering the people and organizations quietly contributing to the creative life of a community.

Photography is one of those interests that brings together people of different ages, experiences and backgrounds. It encourages us to explore our surroundings, appreciate details we might otherwise overlook and see familiar places from a different perspective.

And having an opportunity to hear from a photographer whose work has documented Texas for decades makes tonight's gathering especially interesting.

Whether you're an experienced photographer, a hobbyist or simply someone who enjoys beautiful imagery, it's worth checking out.

Sometimes the most meaningful local discoveries aren't the biggest events. They're the smaller gatherings that introduce us to people who share our interests.

And that's exactly the kind of connection we love encouraging here at Katie's Collective.

Have a local event, business announcement or community story we should know about? We'd love to hear from you.

Local people. Local places. A more connected Kingwood.
