    3 new food halls

    Prepare for 3 new food halls heating up The Heights, Galleria, and Midtown this year

    The hospitality group behind Bravery Chef Hall has an ambitious agenda for 2021. The Company of Nomads will open three new projects in the coming months, partner Shepard Ross tells CultureMap.

    Two previously announced projects — Railway Heights Market, the expansive food hall, market, and bar and Conservatory Galleria, a new food hall in the space once occupied by The Roxy nightclub — are on track for late spring and summer openings, respectively. In addition, the company will open a new version of Conservatory in The Crossing at Midtown (610 Dennis St.).

    In Midtown, Conservatory will occupy a two-story, 17,250-square-foot as well as a 4,000-square-foot patio. Developed by local real estate developer The Oxberry Group, the building will also be home to Dave’s Hot Chicken, a Nashville-style hot chicken restaurant from California, Oxberry Group principal Pejman “PJ” Jamea said in a release.

    Ross provided CultureMap with some additional details. When it opens in late summer or early fall, Conservatory Midtown will house 12 vendors and a new wine bar concept called Puncheon that Ross is developing.

    In addition, it will feature the company’s first on-site brewery. Tenants and brewers will be announced in the coming months. The original, downtown location of Conservatory originally planned to relocated to Chapman and Kirby in EaDo, but those plans fell through due to the pandemic, as CultureMap reported previously; so, too, did plans to open an Asian Hawker Market in the former Greenstreet building in Midtown.

    As for Railway Heights, Ross says he’s feeling good about the project after receiving an enthusiastic response to a recent farmers market at the property. Company of Nomads will begin releasing both food and retail vendors soon, as the COVID-influenced delays caused some tenants such as AL Quick Stop to withdraw.

    “I like that it’s not a designated neighborhood,” Ross says about Railway’s location at the northern end of Washington Avenue . “I like that it’s the connecting nexus between a hundred neighborhoods.”

    Conservatory Galleria will feature 11 vendors, a beer bar, Ross’ Puncheon wine bar, and a version of Bravery’s Secret Garden cocktail bar. It joins a range of food-centric tenants at 5353 West Alabama, including sushi restaurant Hidden Omakase, Korean coffee shop Toms N Toms, and the new location of cult favorite burger-chan. Vendor announcements will be made in the coming weeks.

    Finally, Ross says he and partners Anh Mai and Lian Pham have identified the likely replacement for Cherry Block Craft Butcher & Kitchen at Bravery Chef Hall. It will open as soon as renovations to the kitchen are complete. Cherry Block departed at the end of January to open a market in Katy and a restaurant in Garden Oaks.

    hidden omakase returns

    Damaged Houston sushi restaurant finds temporary home at Uptown bar

    Houston sushi restaurant Hidden Omakase has found a temporary home after a car accident caused substantial damage to its dining room. The Michelin-recommended sushi restaurant will host a summer residency at Bar Moon, The Bastion Collection’s stylish bar above its Italian restaurant Tavola.

    Beginning Tuesday, June 16, chef Marcos Juarez and the Hidden team will be serving diners Tuesday through Saturday. Limited to just 12 people per seating, Hidden Omakase will offer reservations at 6:30 pm and 8 pm. Moving to Bar Moon means Hidden Omakase remains in the Uptown neighborhood, approximately one mile from its permanent location.

    "While this wasn't the path we originally anticipated, we're incredibly grateful for the support we've received from our guests and the Houston community," chef Juarez said in a statement. "This residency allows us to continue doing what we love while creating an exciting new experience alongside the team at Bastion Events. We look forward to welcoming both longtime guests and new diners throughout the summer."

    Open since December 2020, Hidden Omakase is known for serving tastings of more than a dozen courses. Its theatrical presentation style includes showing diners the whole fish used in their meals. Hidden is one of only two Houston sushi restaurants included in the Michelin Guide and the only one that’s currently open to the public (Neo remains closed for renovations).

    The restaurant has been closed since last month when a car drove through its dining room and caused significant damage. At this time, Hidden has not announced how long repairs will take or when the original location will reopen. Thankfully, Bastion Events, the catering arm of the Bastion Collection, was able to offer it a temporary home.

    "One of the things that makes Houston's hospitality community so special is the willingness to support and elevate one another," said Chris Nguyen of Bastion Events. "When the opportunity arose to help Hidden Omakase continue serving guests, the decision was easy. Chef Marcos and his team have built something truly special, and we're honored to welcome them into our family while creating a memorable experience for Houston diners."

    Hidden Omakase will celebrate its temporary move to Bar Moon with a bluefin tuna breakdown on Sunday, June 14. Tickets, priced at $325, are available on Resy.
