Texas Spice

Opened Nov. 11, 2011.

The casual dining room, with a rough-hewn, reclaimed feel, a farmers market theme and a splendid view of downtown, is a fine place for appetizers and drinks, but the main courses fall extremely flat. The difference is so stark, starters and mains seem to come from two different kitchens. Highlights include pickled beet carpaccio, pig’s head fritters and deviled eggs. Don’t look for Texas wines by the bottle (despite the locavore mission), but there are a couple by the glass. Full bar.
