    Where the Wild Things Are

    By Carol Rust | Thu, May 09, 2002

    The oh-so-proper Bistro Lancaster (701 Texas Avenue, 713-228-9502) lets loose on its dinner menu with the fricassee of wild mushrooms ($10), a festive dish of fresh, flavorful fungi simmered in red wine. Joining the trio of wild mushrooms are... More »

  • 2003 | Best Pre- or Post-Theater Restaurant

    Dim the lights and let the show begin. The cast of characters in this cozy nook of The Lancaster Hotel ranges from the elegant to the occasionally eccentric. The richly hued set reflects the intimate, refined taste of a real Broadway in the heart of the Theater District. While the city shells out millions in tax breaks for hotel and restaurant newcomers, Bistro Lancaster is the proud experienced veteran from the lean years of downtown.
