Our Story
Where It All Began
Restaurant Anise was born from a desire to roll back the clock to when dinner was a sacred time shared with friends and family, a time for a pause on daily stress and distractions, to connect with others, and to nourish the body and soul at the end of the day. We offer fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere. Our menu changes monthly and is focused on serving unique, mindfully prepared dishes, using seasonal ingredients and representative of cuisines from around the globe.

About the Chef
Raised in a small town outside of Paris, France, Megan was introduced to fine dining cuisine at a young age by her father who himself worked in the industry. Although her initial schooling and career path were in Microbiology, Megan made the decision to change careers in 2010 and attended the Culinary Institute of America Greystone in the heart of Napa Valley. After leaving school, Megan gained experience at John Besh’s Restaurant August in New Orleans before returning to Richard Reddington’s Redd in Yountville, California. Working in these high level and competitive kitchens was a perfect fit to further fuel Megan’s want to have her own restaurant one day. Since returning to Texas in 2013, she helped to open John Bonnell’s Waters and was Executive Chef at Café Pacific.
Now with a daughter of her own, Megan wants to focus on the values with which she was raised. “Anise was born from a desire to roll back the clock to when dinner was a sacred time shared with friends and family, a time for a pause on daily stress and distractions, to connect with others, and to nourish the body and soul at the end of the day.”

“New Found Treasure in Granbury”
“Recently read the 360 West piece highlighting Restaurant Anise and Megan Potts. We remembered Megan from the Wine Walk Sip & Savor event from previous years. The food is as we remembered… tasty, well presented, and absolutely delicious.”

“True Excellence from a Very Well Trained Chef”
“True excellence from a very well trained Chef. Some restaurants claim to have a trained Chef in the kitchen, when in reality it is a very talented cook. This restaurant definitely has a Chef! We have eaten at many fine restaurants across the United States and have dined at 1890 here in Granbury and I would place the meal we had here in the top 2% of those.” read more
