Kingwood’s restaurant row on the water is getting a big new neighbor. Table Seven Steakhouse is headed to Kings Harbor, with permit filings pointing to a planned fall opening this year if construction and licensing cooperate. The concept is slated for 1660 West Lake Houston Parkway, Suite 105, with records showing roughly a $1 million tenant buildout backing the project. The permit lists Siete Family Enterprises LLC as the owner and names Mario Cediel as the operator behind the steakhouse.
Permit timeline and scope
According to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation records, the project, filed under registration TABS2026012276, is scheduled to start construction on April 10, 2026, and wrap up on October 30, 2026. The state listing describes the work as a Renovation/Alteration of a roughly 3,600 square foot tenant space, with an estimated cost of $1,000,000. The status currently reads “Review Complete,” a stage that typically comes just before inspections and final sign offs begin.
Who’s behind the concept
What Now Houston first spotted the permit and reported that Mario Cediel is listed as the contact for the project, working with Siete Family Enterprises LLC. Cediel heads up Cediel Concession Management, a Houston-based concessions operator with multiple food and beverage locations in area airports and other venues. That track record signals that the team behind Table Seven is no stranger to hospitality operations or managing several outlets at once.
Leasing packet shows a reserved space
A Kings Harbor leasing packet prepared for prospective tenants and brokers maps out a unit labeled “Table 7 Prime Steakhouse” inside the 1660 West Lake Houston Parkway complex, showing a footprint of roughly 3,000 to 3,100 square feet. The marketing materials place the space directly on the waterfront promenade and slot it into the center’s fine dining row. The packet offers commercial confirmation that a steakhouse concept has been earmarked within Kings Harbor’s retail and restaurant lineup.
Liquor license application filed
Public notices indicate that Siete Family Enterprises LLC, doing business as Table 7 Prime Steakhouse, has applied for a Mixed Beverage Permit, a Late Hours Certificate, and a Food & Beverage Certificate tied to the Kings Harbor address. The applications appear in a February roster of public notices published by Daily Court Review, which carries Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission postings. Those filings are required before any alcohol can be poured on site and will move through TABC review and any related local processes.
Where in Kings Harbor
The planned space sits along Kings Harbor’s waterfront promenade in the middle of an established restaurant stretch that already includes longtime tenants such as Sharky's Waterfront Grill and Chimichurri's South American Grill. Developer and property materials list the center’s address as 1660 West Lake Houston Parkway and highlight multiple dining neighbors, pointing to built in foot traffic for any new tenant. Local reporting and the leasing packet place Table Seven in the unit that has previously housed concepts including Don't Axe and The Tasting Room.
What remains unknown
Details such as the menu, price point, and any possible affiliation with downtown’s Table 7 Bistro are still unannounced. The downtown bistro’s website publishes its own menus but does not reference a Kings Harbor location. For now, the brand’s public footprint in Kingwood is limited to permitting entries and leasing materials, so diners will have to wait for more concrete information as construction and licensing progress.
Next steps and timeline
If the project sticks to the schedule outlined with TDLR and the TABC process moves forward without significant delays, Table Seven Steakhouse could realistically target a fall 2026 opening window following final inspections and permitting. Until then, permit and licensing records will be the main place to watch for updates, along with any official opening announcements or hiring notices from the owners or the leasing team.
