Sadly, last year, i think this place burned to the ground after a bolt smashed into its dock. But i could be wrong. Either way it is now closed and its a loss. The closest thing, which actually exceeds it , is Cafe Roval for a lovely outdoor dinner. Perhaps Rouge also competes.
Category: Wednesday with Todd
Sosta
Miramar. Limited Menu, no veggies on the side and no garlic rolls???
Fratelli Milano
downtown. Everything was good and i do love going to new places every week. But our rule is we never repeat a place. so unless it is outstanding its usually just the once, and this one is not convenient enough to return to, tho everything really was marvelous.
Beaker and Grey
We sat half in and half out at a tiny table at Beaker and Grey. Nothing about it stands out. It was good, and a fun find as most of my Wednesday nights out are. But it didn’t stand out as some do. So go, its good, its casual, they have a full bar.
IronSide Pizza
Tucked away in an interesting little shopping plaza in Little River is this tiny gem.
Not being a pizza lover i had a bit of difficulty selecting but the people around us were regularly and all enjoying.
The service was spotty, but the setting was lovely, perhaps come on a cool day, sit on the patio and enjoy a glass of wine.
Ricos
Another Todd special. This time we are listening to salsa music, sitting at our picnic table waiting for our meal that is being cooked on an open grill on the side of this renovated gas station. I gotta say, if you are hanging out with friends, wanna drink some beer and sit somewhere that you are sure not to run into anyone you know. This could be the place. Or, one day it will be the hottest spot in town, but i doubt it.
Bricktops
My Favorite place in the Miracle Mile area if you want simple, plain old, standard, good American food. A Houston’s style eatery but so much better. First- no lines; second- better food; third- outdoor seating; Fourth-not a chain; 5th- better desserts! Great burger, good soup, and did I say dessert!!
Strada
I really like Strada. Every time I come I am happily reminded how nice it is. The food is good, it feels good to be here and you can sit out front with the dog.
Kush
FRIED CHICKEN, need i say more? a little beer joint with barrels for tables sort of place.
Buena Vista Bistro
with a lovely chocolate shop next door you can’t ask for a nicer little restaurant.
