cspwal Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 There are starting to be more food choices in downtown. For example, Morton's steakhouse is a block south of the future hotel in the foreground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtownian Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Where are these people going to eat besides the hotel restaurant nearby? Will they have a hike to get stuff that is decent for lunch and dinner? I probably would Uber to the Galleria area if from out of town I guess. Depends what they are in the mood for - list below, I'm sure I'm missing some.

The new Finger Apartments at the Ballpark are going to have an upscale Italian restaurant and upscale late-night diner that should be interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubrt Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) people go to flying saucer for the food? Unfortunately they don't have them at this location, but the burgers at other Flying Saucer locations are really excellent. By far the best thing on the menu. The other stuff isn't bad either. But obviously the beer is the best part. Edited October 31, 2015 by asubrt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astros148 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 SambucaTrebeardsBarnabysMarket Square Bar & Grilland I'm sure we've missed a few more Barnabys closes way to early which is a flow imo. Sambuca is much over priced for the food quality, great spot for a drink and some music but dont like it for the food. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I spoke to Jeff, the owner of Barnabys the other day at his Binz location and I asked him about Market Square location. He said his business is doing well during lunch and some dinner but it is not really there yet to support the restaurant being open at night yet. He said he does stay open later than is profitable on some early nights. I told him it wouldn't be long before he would have to be open later with all of the Market Square projects coming together. He is optimistic and looking forward to expanding his hours. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astros148 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Off topic but if you guys want some amazing south american food go try Gusto gourmet. jesus their food is so delicious . Wish downtown had some authentic hispanic/south American food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Try Cafe Andes At Canal & Jensen. Strang space in a community center but the South American Cuisine is authentic and delicious...not to mention affordable. BYOB and close to downtown. Tuesday is tango night. Very cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) They could have fit exactly the same size Texas lazy river in that space with correct north - south orientation. Instead, they've got the Panhandle in the west (according to our municipal fiction that Main Street through downtown runs north and south). The architect clearly wasn't very compulsive. Edit: nor was anyone involved in green lighting the design. Sigh. Edited November 3, 2015 by mollusk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 ^^^ this hotel is incorporating many different exterior glass designs throughout. i cannot help but wonder upon whether or not the park has something to do with this. i would love to know the architects thoughts on why they chose this particular design concept? props hindesky....
