The Lymbar, 4201 Main, is coming to The Ion this fall. The craft cocktail bar and restaurant is bringing Latin and Mediterranean flavors from chef David Cordua, currently executive chef and owner of David + Michael Cordua Events.

Michael Cordua, a native of Nicaragua, founded the critically acclaimed Churrascos in 1988, introducing Houston to a new wave of Latin cuisine. Son David was born in Houston and graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. David helped to oversee the family s restaurant group concepts, Americas, Churrascos, Artista and Amazon Grill from 2007 to 2018. Churrascos and Amazon Grill on the Go are now operated by Churrascos Restaurant Group.
