IntheKnowHouston Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Based on an entity filing last month, it's likely Bluestone Lane may open a branch in the Post Oak Plaza shopping center. There was a blurb in Houston Chronicle's retail wrap back in March referencing plans for an Uptown location: "Next, Bluestone Lane will open cafes in Rice Village, Post Oak and The Woodlands later this year and into 2023" https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/texas-inc/article/Retail-wrap-Goode-Company-Barbeque-reopens-17047958.php Bluestone Lane is an all-day cafe and coffee shop from New York. The first Houston area location opened recently in the Heights. Edited May 4, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston Forgot to include link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 An update on il Braco, the Italian restaurant opening soon in the Post Oak Plaza shopping center.

It's sad Berryhill is closing its Post Oak Plaza location, but not surprising following last month's announcement regarding Nando's Peri Peri entering the Houston market. The former Berryhill location at Post Oak Plaza is becoming home to one of several Nando's Peri Peri restaurants planned for the Houston area. The latest addition to Post Oak Plaza's tenant roster was reported last month. Although none of the articles specifically stated Nando's is taking over the Berryhill unit, the reported square footage seems to align with Berryhill's location. Houston Chronicle's reporting: Nando’s Peri-Peri, a South African restaurant, has announced it will open its flagship Texas location at 1751 Post Oak, in spring 2023. The 3,200-square-foot space in Levcor’s Post Oak Plaza will be designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture with colors and textures that reflect its African origins as well as original South African contemporary Art. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/nandos-chicken-texas-17227592.php Plus there is a Google Map listing for Nando's Peri Peri's forthcoming location at Post Oak Plaza. The address is the same as Berryhill: 1717 Post Oak Blvd, Suite C. https://goo.gl/maps/2NUXB5VuQBTRYMyY9 Edited July 3, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston Added links to Google Maps and news article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see them go. In addition to the original one on Revere, there are Berryhills on 11th in the Heights and on 43rd at Ella in Oak Forest. We used to go to the original one regularly when it first opened, as we lived nearby then. Now if we go to one, it's usually the Heights location. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Levcor, a Houston-based owner, operator and developer of commercial real estate, announced new restaurants and retailers at Post Oak Plaza. The property at Post Oak Boulevard and San Felipe is undergoing a renovation with updated storefronts and new gathering areas. Bluestone Lane, an Australian-inspired coffee shop, café and lifestyle brand, leased 1,405 square feet for its third location in Houston. BSH Experience & Design Center leased 14,777 square feet for a luxury appliance showroom featuring Bosch, Thermador and Gaggenau products. The appliance maker was represented by Michael Burgower and Eric H. Lestin of Cushman & Wakefield in the lease, while Rand Horowitz of Shop Cos. and Sasha Levine of Levcor represented the landlord. Body20, a fitness studio providing a personalized, technology-based workout experience, leased 1,995 square feet. Upcoming restaurants joining Kenny & Ziggy’s in the center include il Bracco and Nando’s Peri Peri. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Balboa Surf Club at 1751 Post Oak Blvd. The restaurant is from the same group opening il Bracco at Post Oak Plaza too. This was discussed last year in this thread: On 12/10/2021 at 2:30 PM, hindesky said: I wonder which portion of Post Oak Plaza this will be in. On 12/11/2021 at 8:22 AM, IntheKnowHouston said: It looks like Balboa Surf Club is a new restaurant concept from the same hospitality group bringing il Bracco to Houston. I think it's a smart move on their part having two of their concepts in the same commercial development. Maybe Balboa Surf Club will be a seafood restaurant at Post Oak Plaza, possibly on the higher end? I don't know. Thanks for the clarification, Gene. When I saw 1751 Post Oak Blvd as the given address and this being a restaurant, I assumed this is taking over Masraff's old digs. Also renderings and a site plan show Balboa Surf Club taking over Masraff's former unit. In renderings it's shown as Malibu Surf Club. The most site plan doesn't list the name, but has a restaurant coming soon in the former Masraff's unit.

IntheKnowHouston Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 il Bracco is soft open at its new location in Houston's Post Oak Plaza (as of Monday). I think preview service for friends and family were held over the weekend. The address for il Bracco is 1705-A Post Oak Blvd. More about the design of the space from CultureMap's article yesterday: "To transform the space, il Bracco hired Texas firm Michael Hsu Office of Architecture (Uchiko, Loro). The 6,000-square-foot space features a contemporary design with a dedicated bar/lounge area, custom light fixtures, and a 35-seat patio. Quick's wife, il Bracco design director Mary Lucille, selected the restaurant's artwork from their personal collection.
