SilverJK Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I assumed 927 Studewood left the front of the building so they could maintain the current setback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3mh Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Piatto closed. Never understood why Houston needed two Piattos. Asian Market will move the restaurant portion of their business to a stand alone business on Fulton St. They will keep the market on Cavalcade. Fulton St will serve beer and wine.

Could be a coincidence. Of the two principals listed for Kitchen Snapper, LLC, one has a name uncommon enough to get reasonable Google results, and appears to be owner/manager of three seafood restaurants in Mexico City. http://r.lampuga.com.mx/ Guessing this will be a similar concept.

Swamplot lists 927 Studewood as having a demo permit today. The city does come out and inspect prior to issuing a demo permit and will leave a green tag if the permit is granted. I do not know why this property would have trouble with a demo permit, but it looks like they are moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chicken was pretty good, one of the breasts was so big, it was likely more meat than a 5 piece from other chicken places. Sides were good too.

If I remember to, I'll take a look at the red tag next time I wander by the Valero next door... but I suspice that the red tag might be a result of starting demo without the proper permits.

s3mh Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It looks like the roof on 927 Studewood collapsed. Tried Equilibrium. Coffee is better. Triple berry tart is still there, but other pastries look to be from Angela's oven. Very much in the midst of a soft opening. Interior is brighter and very polished. There is new furniture for the deck, which is nice. But I did not notice any umbrellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedmondson Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Pho Binh? They are always on a bunch of top restaurant lists for Houston. Already have a few places to get pho nearby but I think this place would do well. http://houston.eater.com/2015/3/17/8231019/vietnamese-mini-chain-rumored-to-replace-shuttered-heights-bistro Samurai Noodle on Durham and I10 is a good ramen shop that is now open.

s3mh Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hugs and Donuts completed a soft opening and will finally have their grand opening soon. It is impressive to look at the list of restaurants currently underway in the Heights:Southern GoodsHunky DoryForeign CorrespondentsBernadine'sKa SushiPho BinhOllie's Fried ChickenBlack and WhiteRevival Ice House/Taco StandCane Russo And if you stretch the boundaries a bit you can add the Indian place opening at the old Mozelle's location.

s3mh Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 http://www.heightsepicurean.com/ Another shot at a farmer's market in the Heights. Looks promising. Humble beginnings with just a handful of vendors, but could have potential if it catches on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Revival Market starts dinner service next week. They have already converted to a full service sit-down restaurant set up with the cash registers just being for take out. Booze permit is not ready yet.

Aside from Torchy's, are there other Austin imports in the Heights? (Washington Avenue doesn't count.) The Creeks are hill-country-inspired, I suppose.
