The Heights, like anywhere else, just really wants decent food at a decent price with decent service.

You miss out on one of those and you won't last long.

It doesn't really matter if it's a "chain" or not.

For every Goode Co and Dish Society there's Savoir along with Field and Tides.

There is the rent element as well but that's a slightly different variable.

Just provide decent food at a decent price with decent service and it'll likely last.

Wait, don't tell me that Field and Tides closed.

I was talking about Jeni's ice cream. Does its 100 nation wide locations meet your definition of chain?

Ah I thought it you meant Jenni's Noodle House.

Jeni's ice cream is the GOAT and well worth the $20 per pint price.

Coltivare is a prime example that got it right.

Sure, if you are in to perfectly average Italian food.

1. My backyard
2. L'Ombra del Gallo; a little place I frequent on Lake Como. The Moroccan Lamb braised in eel tears and the perspiration of the local sex workers is to die for.
3. Da Marco.
4. Coltivare

Can someone please explain why Dona Letis is popular with a certain demographic? The one in Meyerland is constantly packed.

Also saw on their website tipping is optional.

Not for long on Savoir if they can't get their service complaints straightened out. Heights Foodies on Facebook are constantly going after them for that the last few weeks.

I should hunt down the post I made about this place years ago. It was an evening of burnt, yet undercooked food and listening to people talk about cocaine-fueled sex parties.

Coltivare is so bad/average, it's been consistently busy for 10+ years.

That's a line I heard on a black woman's TikTok review of the restaurant.
