Craving some yummy mussels a la my old favorite Italian restaurant

Just back from a quick weekend trip with friends to Galveston where we did some group cooking at a cozy airbnb and walked on the beach at sunset, drank some nice California wines. But the last night we ended up reminiscing on group outings that included the most delicious mussels (and dinner) at our favorite north Austin Italian restaurant (Stellini Pastaria-now closed). Alas, we didn’t have time to find a restaurant on the island that serves mussels. now I’m back home and craving mussels. (I’m not a skilled enough cook to tackle cooking mussels sadly) but, the key, in my mind, is they must be extremely clean (no grit whatsoever) and fresh (not fake fresh frozen) and must have a nice sauce. Simple butter, maybe a little lemon and some herbs. Anyone know where I could find a decent plate of mussels in Houston? Thanks in advance!
