    When anyone’s Instagram is in need of a little luxury, look no further than Xochi, James Beard Award-winner Hugo Ortega’s stunning Oaxacan restaurant in downtown’s Marriott Marquis hotel. Imagine a billowy chocolate sponge cake enveloped in a mousse and accompanied by a blossoming branch made of solid chocolate.

    Looking for that perfect picture that combines sweet and savory? Bosscat's creation of burger-meets-breakfast is just as pretty as it is yummy. It’s made with Canadian bacon, a duck fat fried egg and gruyere cheese. This drool-worthy restaurant sports glass garage doors so make sure to snap a pic with the impeccable natural light.

    The casual vibe and delicious chicken sandwiches have already made Krisp an instant local favorite. Served on butcher paper, the restaurant's spin on the chicken and waffle includes a waffle bun, Crystal hot sauce, yummy maple syrup, and cider slaw. This could possibly be the most coveted sandwich for any summer Instagram feed. Throw a favorite drink in the picture, and it’s Insta-gold.

    2 weeks to say goodbye

    Casual River Oaks restaurant will shutter after 10 years

    Eloise Nichols has updated its interior.

    A neighborhood restaurant near River Oaks will soon serve its last meal — for now. Eloise Nichols will close after service on June 29.

    Part of Adair Concepts, the hospitality group behind restaurants such as Adair Kitchen, Buffalo Grille, and Los Tios, Eloise Nichols opened in 2016 as a more upscale concept with cocktails, a raw bar, and a stylish interior. In 2023, the company switched up the concept to a more casual, all-day format. Adair Concepts owners Nick Adair and Katie Adair Barnhart named the restaurant for their grandmother, Eloise Nichols Adair.

    “After a 10 year run, our lease is up and we have decided not to renew on Mid Lane,” Barnhart tells CultureMap in an email. “It was a hard decision as the project is a favorite of ours, filled with lots of memories and family significance.”

    Despite closing this location of Eloise Nichols, Barnhart says the company would like to find a new home for it in the future, but Adair Concepts has other projects to tackle. It recently opened a Los Tios in Fredericksburg. Both Los Tios and Adair Kitchen are coming to San Antonio later this year.

    Meanwhile, diners have a couple more weeks to make one last visit to Eloise Nichols for fan favorite dishes such as deviled eggs, chicken and dumplings, and hot chicken and pickles.
