"Lunch will be served with a view at the upcoming Strato 550, a new downtown restaurant slated to open this spring 550 feet above the ground on the 43rd floor of the renovated 1415 Louisiana building. Open Monday through Friday to the lunch crowd, the 104-seat space—designed by Houston’s Abel Design Group—will feature floor-to-ceiling windows for unobstructed, sweeping downtown skyline views from all sides and a soothing gray-and-white color scheme. The restaurant, which bills itself as the highest Houston restaurant open to the public, will offer a Mediterranean-inspired menu, include meeting rooms and availability for after-hours private events, and is currently searching for an executive chef to help open it." - Adele Chapin
