The Lymbar at The Ion, Rice University s innovation-focused mixed-use development in Midtown. Slated to open this fall, the Lymbar will occupy The Ion s jewel-box corner suite. Described as a bar forward, small plates concepts devoted to both Latin and Mediterranean flavors, the 120-seat restaurant will feature meats prepared on a vertical roaster that will be visible from an open kitchen. Gin Braverman of Houston s Gin Design Group (Axelard, Eunice) will design the restaurant.
Common Bond On-The-Go, 3210 N. Shepherd, opened March 4 in Garden Oaks. It s the second location for the brand s more casual, trimmed down version of its popular Common Bond Bistro and Bakery. The first offshoot opened in the Heights in May 2020.
Common Bond s success lies in its fresh baked bread and beautiful pastries which offer Houstonians a taste of European-style delicacies. The pastries, though not inexpensive, are delicious pieces of art and the breads are reminiscent of a Parisian boulangerie. While the full-on Common Bond Bistro offers a place to unwind and linger, the On-The-Go version offers a limited menu of grab n go salads, sandwiches and breakfast treats. However, there s a full pastry case and a small selection of loaves is available. The Country Sourdough is a particular favorite among Houstonians. Its croissants are also a big draw with butter, Nutella, pistachio and chocolate iterations.
