20sGirl Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Eh...The townhomes or brownstone things look cheap and unoriginal if you ask me...Does anybody else think they are asking too much $$$ for these?http://www.thebrownstonesatcitycentre.com/plans.htmlI mean, it's the suburbs, next to a giant freeway interchange. I guess they have a lot of square footage? Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 It's my understanding that most of the tenants committted to the second office tower have backed out now. Economy sucks.Looking forward to Studio Movie Grill, though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totheskies Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Wow, very nice! You know I completely forget about this (just because it's not my side of town). I need to drive out there and take a look at the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringShadows Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Went to studio movie grill this weekend. Very nice, I would say it is dead even with Alamo Drafthouse.Pros:Much better screen/sound (digital)Arguably Better Food (opinion only)Full BarCleanerMore ScreensBetter TablesCons:Less CharacterLess BeerSqueaky Rolling SeatsMy wife, friends and I went for a walk around. It is simply amazing in there, doesn't feel like Houston. You can't hear the freeway and you can't see anything but City Center when in City Center. I must say, when the beer bar, wine bar, sushi, etc open this little spot will have it all.Color me very impressed. I have been all over the world and the beauty we see here will translate into generational beauty which is rare in this city.

sheeats Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't see where it's been discussed in this thread, but Alex Brennan-Martin (of Brennan's) is opening two new restaurants in CityCentre: Cafe Rose and Bistro Alex. Both will be in the Hotel Sorella and both are -- to me, at least -- exciting because they're aren't chains. http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2009/...g_and_fancy.php Cafe Rose will be a more low-key place but will have house-cured meats, fancy cheeses, wines, etc. Bistro Alex will be more on par with Brennan's, but apparently will be very modern. Exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I drove by it from Beltway 8 and had to be really looking for it. I could barely see buildings going up and could see the "CITY CENTRE" sign, but it's kind of clear now why Town & Country Mall failed...EDIT:Question: When this thing is complete, will there be a stoplight at Town & Country Blvd. and Town & Country Way instead of the curve there is now?http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source...653225806451612 Edited March 21, 2009 by IronTiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Went there this weekend to Studio Movie Grill. The parking garages are super convenient. You definitely get the idea of the potential this project when you walk through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Are there plans to convert Town And Country Village into City Centre?What? No! See, what happened is there was this outdoor shopping district called Town & Country Village. Then in the early 1980s, they built an enclosed mall called Town & Country Mall to the north of it. The Mall and the Village co-existed. Then the Mall went downhill and was demolished (in what, 2005?). The Mall is being rebuilt as "CityCentre", not affliated with the nearby Village.

citykid09 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I went to this center earlier, and it looked like nothing was open. Much of it was still under construction. very nice though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We went during the weekend, but it was packed! Pretty much all the movies were sold out pretty early so we had to come back during the week.It was pretty nice. Service time wasn't too bad and the food was pretty good. I liked it.

Geoff8201 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I paid SMG a visit last week, and I must say it was very nice. Saw Fast and Furious. The food was delicious... like really good, far exceeding my expectation. My friends got half drunk during the movie, for that reason the drive home was quite entertaining also with them yelling things that make little sense from the backseat.The picture and sound quality was near perfect, but should be for a new theater. The way the whole setup works was well thought out and very efficient.This place is going to make so much money as word of it spreads. I usually like to keep dinner and a movie separate, makes the evening last longer and seem fuller, but from time to time this combination is fun to visit, and visit it I shall.

sheeats Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Went to the new Fleming's steakhouse tonight for the first time (first time in any Fleming's, for that matter). I was pleasantly surprised. Steak isn't normally something I pay for in a restaurant -- I'd rather make them myself at home -- but this was exactly how I'd cook a steak, only with far better side dishes. Very nice interior, typical steakhouse ambiance and design but slightly more upscale, great wine selection, good food. Makes a very welcome change from Taste of Texas up the road.
