While I like the added density for Eado, this looks like cheap student housing imo. I don't understand the facade's mix of materials

Lobster-obsessed restaurant serving rolls, ceviche, and more opens on Allen Parkway Allen Parkway’s new mixed-use development welcomes its third restaurant this weekend. MF Lobster & Ceviche opens this Friday, February 16 at Autry Park(3711 Autry Park Dr.). Chris “Magic Fingers” Kinjo, chef and owner of the Museum District’s acclaimed MF Sushi, worked with his longtime collaborator chef Miguel Alvarez to develop MF Lobster & Ceviche. As its name implies, the crustacean is at the heart of the menu’s offerings. Not that this publication would ever make an incredibly dated reference to Forrest Gump, but this restaurant serves lobster in a whole bunch of different ways. They include lobster tacos, lobster grilled cheese, lobster mac & cheese, lobster bisque, linguine with lobster, and grilled or steamed whole lobster. Lobster rolls come in two forms — a traditional, Maine-style roll served in a split-top bun and a brown butter lobster bao. Kinjo will also served other New England-style dishes such as clam chowder, steamed mussels, and sides that include corn on the cob, house made chips, and coleslaw. The restaurant’s ceviche and sashimi will use the same Japanese fish purveyors that supply MF Sushi. Look for dishes built around tuna, madai, salmon, halibut, and more. Pairing options include 20 house cocktails, a selection of Japanese whisky, and wine. “My vision of this restaurant is to provide a casual and fun atmosphere for diners, but with substance and quality,” Kinjo said in a statement. “We’re excited to welcome the community to Autry Park for a new type of dining experience from our team. I’ve always done high-intensity restaurants, but this one is more laid back, with simple and familiar dishes. This is a place where customers can come and enjoy the park and feel comfortable while enjoying a high-quality meal and drink." As part of that casual atmosphere, the restaurant will not take reservations. Instead, diners will be able to sign up for the restaurant’s waitlist via OpenTable. Initially, the restaurant will be open for dinner nightly beginning at 5:30 pm. Lunch service will be announced soon. MF Lobster’s setting is as distinctive as its food. Designed by the Michael Hsu Office of Architecture (Uchi, Da Gama, il Bracco, etc.), the 2,200-square-foot space is touted as Houston’s only completely round restaurant. It seats 65 people inside with room for an additional 60 on a dog-friendly patio. Details include blue tile floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a 15-foot, tree-shaped steel sculpture that references the development’s oak trees. The new restaurant joins Annabelle Brasserie, a French restaurant from Berg Hospitality, and globally-inspired Auden as restaurants at Autry Park. Over the next few months, they’ll be joined by Turner’s Cut, a luxurious steakhouse from Berg Hospitality; Doko and Bar Doko, a sushi restaurant and cocktail bar from the hospitality group behind Handies Douzo and CultureMap Tastemaker Awards Best New Restaurant winner Aiko; Austin’s Lick Honest Ice Creams; and Annam, Kinjo’s Vietnamese restaurant that will be MF Lobster’s sister concept on the property. Developed by local real estate firms Lionstone Investments, Rebees, and Hanover Company, Autry Park occupies 14-acres on the western edge of Buffalo Bayou Park. The project's three-phase masterplan includes five towers encompassing 1,450 residential units, 350,000 square-feet of Class A office space, and 100,000 square-feet of retail. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/mf-lobster-ceviche-restaurant-autry-park-open/

Without a doubt and would be happy with either, but boutique hotel makes a lot more sense + better for this area imo.

What a great vantage of downtown. This is going to be an incredible cultural center, I can't wait to walk through this and the outdoor area. It begs the question of how quickly the area around here will develop after this is in full operation? If this draws hundreds of thousands of people (including many domestic and international visitors) each year, we must assume more may come on the drawing board in the immediate vicinity, right? The impact that Autry Park, The Allen, and SCI Redevelopment will have along Allen Parkway is discussed often, but not a lot about a world class cultural institution likely to draw thousands of people to the area.

Was in Autry Park over the lunch hour. Noticed City Boots is going in next to MF, according to their instagram they are opening February 16th. Surprised Autry Park hasn't done any PR on this or has anything on their pages, but looks like a cool retail concept and love that both circular pods are leased and will be open in the next few weeks. Also there was signage up for 'COMA' in the space nextdoor to Turner's Cut. Looked like more of a workplace, but unclear what the business is. https://cityboots.com/

With the Office foundation permit posting last Friday, Ralph Bivens breaking the Oxy and now Vitol news, I'd say an official press release from Transwestern is right around the corner.

Projects of this scale can take time, but it is happening and will be incredible. There is big Houston money and influence behind this. The addition of Oxy's future headquarters will accelerate the next phase of buildings, I'd put money on that. Can't wait to see the renderings for the HQ.

God bless Hanover and their vision. This area is going to take off when these restaurant/retail tenants start opening. There is already a growing buzz on Autry Park and I've heard through the grapevine there are several companies interested in being here. Exciting times.
