Fortune Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 That's not what the restaurant's owners said. http://www.chron.com/life/food/article/Why-Feast-is-closing-and-what-s-next-4087920.phpI stand corrected. Always seemed crowded to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think I'm the only one that wasn't a fan of the food. I like the concept of fresh local produce, cruelty free etc. I just thought the food was kind of bland, at least what I had was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trymahjong Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) hmmmmmmmmm not sure about the bland bit . . . . they bring out that big pepper mill and crank away. I liked the idea of this place, I'm always charmed that the building was saved and I liked the space.I always walked so the parking thing wasn't a problem. Somehow most times I went, they seemed a bit stressed, as if one server hadn't shown up.I got an email that, they are serving a huge Christmas Dinner, Dec. 18th. I hope it's a full house, so they can have a bit of financial cushion. Edited December 10, 2012 by trymahjong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I didn't see this any where:http://www.29-95.com/restaurants/story/chef-kevin-bryant-head-new-seafood-restaurant-montrose-neighborhood New seafood-centric, high end place coming to the old Biba's location at 607 W Gray. The building currently is being renovated and will include seating on the main floor and bar area for 120 with a patio that can accommodate about 100 additional guests; upstairs will be private dining for 80-90 including a private terrace. There also will be a chef’s table accommodating up to 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick Vik Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 So I tried this place called Fabio's Fresh Pasta today off Shepherd and Alabama. All I have to say is AMAZING. He sells pasta by the pound, I got gnocchi for $6 and spinach fettucini for $4.85. He also has imported tiramisu for $4.50 and homemade sauce for $5.50. The most ironic thing is he supplies 48 restaurants in Houston with fresh pasta. Birraporetti's, Arturo's, among others. How people don't know about this place is beyond me because the restaurants buy his stuff and upcharge multiple times over for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 He's still kinda new. He used to be in the space across from Feast on Westheimer, and was only open limited hours. He moved over to W Alabama a little while ago. Haven't been since he moved, but I do like his pasta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty good stuff at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPHous Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 You are spamming Houston message boards promoting this place...at least come clean and say you own/work at this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Maybe he just likes the place. Not many places selling fresh pasta in Houston. This place, Damico's, and Hubbell & Hudson up in The Woodlands are the ones I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place, Damico's, and Hubbell & Hudson up in The Woodlands are the ones I know of. Basically. I like a few italian places. Capri Pasta in the woodlands is the best. Papa Mio and Mandola's are very good also. This is just a good deal and I've never found anywhere else that sells it fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Those three all sell it retail. D'Amico's is good but a little pricy imo, and H&H is distant from me. Fabio's probably a better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I drove by today and it looks like The Right Step has purchased the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 This really isn't big news. The business never really grew successful. A few months ago,one of the owners shared this would probably happen, speculating that a yoga studio would take over. Looks like they are selling off the furniture.

I always wondered about that place - I hardly ever saw it open, and when it was, there weren't any people in it.....seemed like a good location (except for parking) with the other places popping up around there....

trymahjong Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 It never seemed to gain a foothold in that area. The Fairview did a deal to share parking with Boheme but it still didn't get many customers. They seemed to try everything--built that patio, movie night, trivia night. . . . . .

Texasota Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The interior layout was ...awkward. The bar was fine, but then they put oversized couches against the inside wall that were too far apart for a group of people to talk to each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar was fine, but then they put oversized couches against the inside wall that were too far apart for a group of people to talk to each other. about that bar . . . . . . . . why they never tried to offer draft beer-really puzzled me, especially as the ground swell of draft/craft brew mania started to swell. I don't think Boheme or Cuchara offered draft/craft and I think Ziggy/Grafitti only offers St Arnolds on draft (although this week I think they are spotlighting Lone Pint Brewery from Magnolia) So (IMO) showcasing a few local craft beers on tap-----------might have brought in more customers.

ricco67 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think it just comes down to management. Being at the Front porch last night, I saw how packed it was as opposed to every bar within walking distance. Some people know what works and there is always location.

kylejack Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Boheme has draft and craft, fairly decent selection, mostly on that back patio bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houblu Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 And it was just a block from the grouchy manager customer dissing dry cleaners. PS what was the name of the mexican place across the strreet, that closed years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 why dry cleaner? i love the one on gray and taft. juan mon's was okay food, but i didn't think much of the location. not visible enough from major streets -- i would always forget it was there.

qtguy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 What's up with the old Wendys off Westheimer in Montrose? I knew that place would eventually close doors due to the nicer things around it, any idea on plans for the land? Does anyone know what the new establishment is? I noticed the old building is being remodled into something bigger and hopefully better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
