Not sure whether this is the end, but hard to imagine that this restaurant will be able to survive a lockout.  2/3rds of what I got there was wonderful and 1/3rd was not much better than what I put together on a Wednesday night.  Every time I went, it felt like they were still in the middle of a soft opening and still figuring things out.  I am a bit sad to see this restaurant go as the owners were pioneers on White Oak.  But this is Houston and standards are just too high for a restaurant that it is not willing to dot all the "I"s and cross all the "T"s to be able to survive.  

I honestly couldn't be happier.  Place has terrible management which treated customers terribly.  Karma..

Thanks for the tips guys, I am looking for a place in the Heights. I think I'll try Harold's.

Does anyone know where I can go to get my shoes shined in the area? Doesn't necessarily have to be a stand, could be a drop off place. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend any decent and reasonable exterminators?

Thanks

Anyone use the Bally's on Shepherd near 43rd? I've been going to the Y on 34th but I'm getting tired of the outdated and broken weight machines there. I've never had a membership to any of these chains before and was wondering if it was worth it. Thanks.

Thanks for all the reponses so far guys. I remember hearing about Remmert's a while back. Kind of sucks about Import Auto and VW's since that is the car that I drive, I read some very good reviews about that place.

Does anyone have any experience with and could recommend any good mechanics in the Heights and surrounding areas? I'm looking for someone who has experience with foreign autos (VW, Honda) and, of course, someone reasonable.

Thanks in advance

Just what the works needs, more Affliction t-shirts & t-shirt wearing guys.

So i've never been to the Pearl bar, what's the deal with it? Is it one of those overly trendy bars, where people go to be seen?

So that means the Candelaris folks are to blame for the "direction" of pearl bar. Such a shame for the neighborhood.

Is it open yet? Would love to go.. even though I live across the GD street from pearl.

Hi all, my wife and I would like to do do a couple upgrades to our kitchen and we were wondering if anyone could recommend a resonable contractor. Our desire is to install granite countertops, a built-in wine fridge (undercounter) and a light inside our pantry. We are in a townhome with less than 50 feet of counterspace. Thanks for any help.

Going to get my first tattoo soon and i'm trying to find a good & reputable artist. I've read about some of the local favorites such as Shaw's, Scorpions, and Texas Tattoo Emporium. If anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it.

Thanks

OK, it's not Cedar Creek that was boycotted. It's a place called La Hacienda and it's at 26th and Couch.

A friend of mine lived right by there. She now lives in Katy, so I guess that explains why they wanted to boycott a new Mexican restaurant. I would think that people in SA would embrace new businesses, but not if they want it to look more like the burbs.

Is La Hacienda actually open? I live on 24th and have only seen a rundown sign at the location you're referencing.

might be a bit off topic and moderators please feel free to move it to an appropriate forum. i live in shady acres and i am in seeking a new maid. anyone have any recommendations? thanks in advance.

awesome, i live nearby and was actually wondering (hoping) that it would be some type of bar/ restaurant.
