1302 Nance (713-222-6996) Map This review from December 2003.
"Charming" hardly begins to describe this sweet spot nestled in the shadow of downtown warehouses. Old bricks and mortar have survived the developers' wrecking ball for now and provide a cozy setting inside and a nice patio outside. The tasty Mega Wrap was truly "mega," packed with chicken, bacon, blue cheese, and vegetables. But our favorite dish was the shrimp with garlic-basil sauce on fettuccine. Not surprisingly, service is friendly and a bit spacey. Beer & wine. Lunch Tue-Fri 11-3. Dinner Tue-Thur 6-9, Fri & Sat 6-10. Sun brunch 11-2. Closed Mon.
