Houston - A Happening Place
The wife and I just returned from a fun-filled trip to Houston. The 4th
largest city (and growing) in America has so much to offer. We stayed in
the Hotel Sorella in the posh City Centre section, and the Hotel ICON in
historic downtown Houston. Each offers a unique glimpse into what makes
this Texas city so very unique. In the next few weeks I will be focusing
on these two venues as well as the Bistro Alex and LINE & LARIAT
restaurants within the hotels.
The staff were all friendly and
most helpful. The food at both restaurants were a pleasing blend of
juicy delights in very unique surroundings.
Bistro
Alex
Situated in the Hotel
Sorella, we loved the mesquite wood on the ceiling and walls at the
Bistro Alex as well as the pleasing blend of menu selections. We also
sampled a Taylor Fladgate porto wine that had been bottled for 20 years!
LINE
& LARIAT
The LINE & LARIAT Restaurant provided a tasty feast
and a memorable experience inside a 100 year old building that is the
Hotel ICON. The "Working Man's Lunch" dessert provided a perfect end to
our meal. The Hotel
ICON has done an exceptional job with a recent remodeling, and is
located in the historic section of downtown Houston.
Look for new
features soon.
