Dining
BY ROO MOODY
Southern avors meet Houston’s nightlife at Confessions Sterling Lewis, the restaurateur behind Confes- sions, said he wants to change how the world sees the restaurant industry. The gist Lewis started Confessions, which is his rst restaurant, in April 2025, and it quickly gained pop- ularity throughout the year, attracting guests such as Shaquille O’Neal, 50 Cent and GloRilla, he said. “I wanted to create something where we primar- ily focus on hospitality,” he said. “How we treat guests, making guests feel like family, and then everything else will follow.” What’s special about it? Decorated with modern art, brightly colored seating and sparkling chandeliers, Confessions blends Southern air with nightlife. At Confessions, guests can enjoy a traditional dining environment until around 9 or 10 p.m., when a “DJ starts curating moments and experiences.” His thoughts Lewis rst entered the hospitality industry when he began promoting events and passing out yers at 17 years old. Confessions’ success feels like a dream come true, and he said that sometimes he feels he is still dreaming. “I failed so many times, so many times I wanted to give up, but having faith in God and knowing exactly what I wanted to do and who I wanted to become, and wanting to take care of my family got me to where I am today,” he said.
Menu items at Confessions include an 8-oz Filet Mignon Oscar Style, Spicy Peach Wings and Blueberry Wings.
