Upcoming attraction, downtown part 1
The Italian restaurant Red Ash in the city center is opening a new restaurant in the premises that used to be part of the popular Holy Roller diner. J. Carver Oyster Bar and Chophouse will be located at 509 Rio Grande Street, Suite 100, starting this summer. The menu includes wood-grilled steaks and daily oysters, according to the poached list. The name comes from Red Ash chef and owner John Carver, who previously held the same kitchen role at Eddie V’s chain restaurant. Holy Roller, owned by Callie Speer, closed in October 2020.
Anniversary promotion for kittens
Austin Vivian’s Boulangerie Bakery Service is celebrating its first birthday with a themed kitten ride for Austin Pets Alive’s bottle nursery. The owner and baker Kendall Melton is asking for a selection of items, ranging from heating pads to towels to found objects, in the Amazon registry. Returns are from Friday, July 9th to Sunday, July 11th at 3708 Promontory Point Drive. There will also be free cookies and other likely edible goodies.
Extension opening alarm
Phoebe’s Diner in South Austin opened a second location in downtown Austin in late June. The new diner is located at 408 West 11th Street, Unit 100 and takes over Darna Mediterranean Cuisine, which appears to have closed sometime last fall. Chef Camden Stuerzenberger’s menu remains the same – a range of American-Texan dishes from migas to roasted chicken with grits to pancakes and smoked meat. Opening times are from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is open for food to eat and take away. Owners Robert Tran, Eric Tran and Quang Chau also run the Winebelly tapas restaurant in South Austin.

An outdoor work of art was stolen from the Mexican restaurant Fonda San Miguel this week. It happened sometime overnight until the early morning of Tuesday, July 6th. The fountain sculpture was created by Mexican artist Sergio Bustamente, whose other works are on display throughout the restaurant. The restaurant is offering a $ 500 reward for returning the artwork, as reported by CBS Austin.
