Sharif Al-Amin, Jessie Gonzales and Greg Perez plan to open a new restaurant and bar concept in Garden Oaks with their recently formed hospitality group B.O.M., which stands for Barrel of Monkeys.<\/p>\n
The group, which owns Monkeys Trail in the northside of Houston, recently signed a lease for the former Petrol Station space at 985 Wakefield Dr.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson with B.O.M. said more details about the concept will be released at a later date.<\/p>\n
The health-focused eatery Flower Child, 1533 N. Shepherd Dr., opened Tuesday for patio dining, to-go and curbside pick-up.<\/p>\n
The Flower Child menu offers a variety of healthy items, such as a selection of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.<\/p>\n
Mainstay menu items include the Glow Bowl, spicy sweet potato noodles with bok choy, zucchini, onion, jalapeno, shiitake mushroom, coconut milk and sunflower butter; Thai Dye Wrap, spicy tofu with Thai basil, avocado, carrot, daikon radish, cilantro and snap pea; and the Organic Kale Salad, which comes with grapefruit, apples, red cabbage, black currant, smoked almond, white cheddar and apple cider vinaigrette.<\/p>\n
The Mediterranean spot Helen in the Heights, 1111 Studewood St. Ste. B, closed at the end of March due to COVID-19 and never reopened.<\/p>\n
The restaurants website confirms that the local Helens location will not be reopening. But the Helens concept in Rice Village, Helen Greek Food & Wine, 2429 Rice Blvd., remains in operation.<\/p>\n
While Rainbow Lodge, 2011 Ella Blvd., is open for dine-in, it continues its to-go operations and recently added a new kit to make date night easy.<\/p>\n
Rainbow Lodges Date Night Kits To-Go, for two, will consist of what the restaurant called the full Monty, including cocktails, an appetizer, entrees paired with wine and a dessert.<\/p>\n
The menu for the kits will change weekly.<\/p>\n
Superica, 1801 N. Shepherd Dr., has added new summertime cocktails to its curbside offerings. The new items include The O.G. Margarita, a Blood Orange Margarita, a La Paloma Kit and the Ranch Water Kit. Both Kits serve up to six people.<\/p>\n
Supericas sister concept, La Lucha, has added an order of a dozen wood-roasted oysters, half a pound of fried shrimp, deviled eggs, crispy shrimp tacos, and Szechuan shrimp and pork dumplings to its curbside offerings.<\/p>\n
La Lucha has also added boozy milkshakes, an Old Fashioned cocktail kit, a Remember the Sling, which comes with Mezcal, cherry brandy, pineapple and Squirt, and a Youre Welcome, which is a Bourbon and rye, two vermouths and bitters to its drink curbside menu.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
