MidtownCoog Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Seems like this is near the area where I have seen construction of a parking garage. I'll have to drive by again.On a realted note I noticed a new "Hong Kong" restaurant on Franklin. Something like "Hong Kong Diner".Anyone tried it?

Anyone know what that was converted to?Mark's is on lower Westheimer. It's expensive - have only been there once, but the food and service were outstanding. Will be going again this Saturday night for the office Christmas party. I'll give a new review then!Mark's Restaurant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htowngirl Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) Picazo's been open for a couple months... I've been there twice. Great food, atmosphere, varied menu, reasonable prices, good service, great location near Toyota Center & the ballpark... That part of town really needed something like this! http://www.picazodowntown.com/ Menu is online, without prices, but the prices are very reasonable.... something for everyone. It's perfect for when you want to eat at a nicer place downtown, but don't want to spend over $15-20.Both times I've been (weeknights... most recently last night), it's been DEAD. But I hear it draws a good lunchtime crowd. Edited May 10, 2007 by Htowngirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
