CITYCENTRE

Beautiful place, a lot of stores and restaurants, some of them open late. There are place for kids to places. Family, couple, friends, everyone can enjoy that center.

I had a really great time—this place was both nice and super entertaining! There was a lot to do, which kept things fun and engaging throughout. Whether you're looking to relax or stay active, there's something for everyone. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and want a well-rounded experience.

✨ City lights & cozy vibes in Houston! ✨ Took a walk around CityCentre Houston at night—beautiful views, great cafés, and amazing restaurants! Spacious parking makes it even better. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy the city. #HoustonNights #CityCentreHouston #NightVibes #ExploreHouston #CityLights #FoodieSpot #TexasLife #Shorts

So cozy I love it there Too many options if you wanna have some good food! 3>

We went to Start Cinema Grill and had a blast. I've been to 5 locations, and this location is in my top 3. Service was amazing, and the experience is always on point. Definitely will be going back.

We went there for our anniversary. We visited the old location and we liked it. This location is bigger and better. Awesome view from the patio. The food was top rated. You have to try the Sirrache Macaroni and Cheese Balls.Great drinks. They are innovative with their drinks. Nice variety. Our server Morgan was excellent. Provides service with a smile, made suggestions and catered to our every need. We will be back. 5 Stars all the way.

Fellini has amazing gelato and the chocolate covered canoli with 4 different fillings is to die for!!!

Great place to hangout and very lively in most of the evenings. Plenty of icecream, gelato, restaurants, furniture, mattress and other stores for shopping and a decent size lifetime fitness and plenty of space to park on street or in garage. Garage is paid and street might or might not be free after 6pm depending where you are parking.

Heart of the memorial city area, this is a much nicer spot than the Memorial City Mall area that's along Gessner (crowded, dirty, and somewhat chaotic). It's crowded here with foot traffic on the weekends especially along the town center green space with the water features. It's generally cleaner with more family vibes on weekends and resembles the Sugar Land town center and the one up in the Woodlands in terms of higher end stores with a lot of walking space and the millennial lifestyle vibe. There's a ton of newer shops built to the south of that town center area now with casual seating space; super nice for those who office here and want to chill outside in the shade for a while. There's again a lot of name brand stores which I find little value outside of aesthetic looks for. I don't think I've really bought anything from any of the stores in person but I guess they look nice and full of consumerism and such. The restaurant scene here is not bad within walking distance. I highly prefer the Chipotle, Taste of Texas, and Postino as the top picks for the area depending on occasion. Parking is available for free in any of the non gated garages which is both good and bad. The street parking is paid but honestly not worth it with all of the foot traffic and valet traffic.

Such a beautiful place to hang out. There is a little lawn that kids play on, plenty of food shops. Indoor and outdoor dining, a movie theatre. Great date nigh place or night out with the family!

This place has certainly grown in popularity over the past years . A ton of great eateries if you like chain restaurants such as the Yardhouse, RA for sushi and Cafe Anaya for TexMex. We like the Italian Cafe Fellini close to the Escape Room .Definitely a favorite for their in-house made gelato and specialty coffees. A few other stores make the challenging parking worth the drive. They do have a nice courtyard styled area that has fireworks during July 4th, concerts on the lawn and sometimes big screens for movies or football games. The fountains are lit up in the evening and it is a nice place to stroll for an evening walk as the weather dictates.

Nice shopping area to visit with chill vibe. Decent range of price points. Grab a beer and appetizer at the Yardhouse, then walk next door to Jenni's Ice Cream next door, grab a scoop and soak in the vibe outside in the little courtyard. You might briefly forget you are in a huge metropolis.

This place is honestly sad. I'm from Orange County, California and visiting CityCentre was definitely not worth it for us. They just had a few chain restaurants and your typical Antropologie, Kendra Scott, Lululemon stores. We came to check out their Z Gallerie but it was definitely lacking with stock items. You can probably walk down the entire thing in about 10-15 minutes and be over it. At least parking is free in the structure.

I love going here and checking all the new restaurants. The scenery is so nice there's so many places to visit. They have a very good selection and a pretty good value except for the bowling alley is pretty expensive. And the service depends on which place you go to

Not a bad place to go for a wide variety of restaurants such as Tejas De Brasil and Cyclone Anaya's for 2 great happy hours. Bellagreen has fast service and Yardhouse has great burgers and beer. There is plenty of space for the kiddos to run around in the open courtyard as the parents have a glass of wine or a cold one. 4th of July they will have fireworks so get there early for best viewing.

Guys. Guys. We are in a pandemic. These businesses really need our support. Citycenter has so much to offer. Especially during holiday season, there are plenty of activities for everyone. Not just restaurants, there are shops, pretty outdoor spaces, offices, hotel and residences. Parking could be a hassle if you are here on weekends. But it's normal at every shopping mall. I usually come here on weekdays. Expect more building. I love this place.

CityCentre is an area of upscale shopping and dining. My husband and I like the concept of this place... it just wasn't for us. We're just not fancy enough for the ritzy shops such as Anthropologie, Kendra Scott, lululemon or West Elm. We DID go to the Yard House for a late lunch/Happy Hour. We would literally return to City Centre to just go there again. From 3-6PM they offer a Happy Hour with a selection of 1/2 price apps and $2-4 off certain beers, wines and cocktails. My husband and I shared 3 apps and each had a drink and the bill came to $32! So all in all, we'd return but not to walk around, to go directly to the yard house for happy hour! Oh yeah, we parked in a garage and paid $6 for 2 hours. Not too bad.

This is a complaint from someone who has grown up in the Town -N-Country area for 57yrs. I will never go back to a Grimaldi's Pizza due to the lack of available parking for Ordering Pizza for pick up. I spent over $110 for 3 pizza's that were over 30 minutes late. I dropped my 17yr old off to go inside and pick up our Pizza's. He waited inside for 20 minutes while I waited or drove around, due to there not being any available short term free parking. I finally went inside for 10 minutes to see what was going on, and when I went out I had a $25 dollar parking ticket! I guess you guys hire undercover people to monitor the parking to pick off people going inside Grimaldi's to pick up Pizza to-go. It's not the $25, but the Greed of the ownership of City Centre that has me steamed. I will avoid going back to City Centre at all costs and ordering overpriced pizza from one of your Tenants, because of this

When she gets mad she's a real loud VENTER She likes English guys, so I have to ACCENT HER When she wants to go out, I have to PRESENT HER She wasn't round enough so I had to AUGMENT HER She said "I bend, never break", so I BENT HER Over a chair, and she helped me pitch a TENT, ER When it comes to being a girl, she's my MENTOR When it comes to animals, we do it like TRENT REZNOR When she's not at work her butt says "DO NOT ENTER" She won't be owned, but you can RENT HER I bet I'll never get back the $200 I LENT HER But when she wants salad, we go to CITYCENTRE WHAT She wanted the fanciest place to shop in Houston, so I centre here. Get it. Centre. Definitely one of the most fancy outdoor malls I've ever seen. And I've seen plenty and even performed at some. It has a little Park in the middle of it (where one could perform!), and it's basically just a rich village unto itself with a lot of good looking people and rich people (and middle-class people spending as if they were rich people and thereby getting in debt) and that causes all the high-end businesses to come in here and you can't really find any bargains in these parts. The best thing here is the Salata which is one of my favorite locations of Salata in the whole city. You should come and check it out if you're ever in these parts. It's a little bit problematic to get in and out of here but the same could be said about your sister. One of the best people-watching shopping areas in Houston. If it was easier to get in and out of I'd give it 5 stars, but the same could be said about your gf.

I love this place!!!! City Center is an awesome place for shopping, food, and a top of the line movie theater. It's an all together great place for families to have a wonderful time together. I'd also suggest visiting on a sunny Saturday or Sunday or for a romantic evening dinner.

I have been going to Citycentre since it opened and it has evolved over time into a very popular outdoor mall. There are lots of great restaurants and shops here for one to enjoy and a large green space for events, live music, and maybe a game of tag. There is also a Studio Movie Grill here, so you can really make a whole day out of being here. Parking can certainly be tricky at peak times, especially because the garages keep losing spots to valet, parking meters, or reserved spots for hotels/work/etc, but just park on the roof of the garage attached to the Studio Movie Grill - you can always find a spot there. If you want a more prime parking spot, you will have to pay. Otherwise, the garage parking is free for unmarked spots.

it's ok here, I don't mind the shopping, but the service isn't great...if you're coming here. I went to studio movie girl and had really slow slow service, I left a review on them that you can check out! After I came to ra sushi for drinks and it was ok, still very slow. probably wouldn't recommend coming here for drinks, movies or food just go to Houston instead like midtown, eado, downtown or Montrose.

Nice shopping strip w/ a few fashion stores, fine dining, and course a kids play area for kids and parents to hang around while chilling in the nice weather. Although it is pretty difficult to find parking here where you'll more likely have to park in the parking garages, I recommend visiting this place and go to at least one store or restaurant here!

The hotel is definitely showing its age but the location is great and you don't have to lay to park there if you are staying at the hotel. Lots of great places to eat and shop. I was there for a conference and check in and check out was easy and staff was pleasant and professional. I would recommend and stay here again.

Pretentiously overpriced for sparking shiny lights. $7.50 for an hour and a half of metered street parking, and the shops overpriced accordingly through no fault of their own. They're part of the game/scene and paying higher rent themselves to be part of it. And clearly the fact that this area draws a weekend crowd on a week night demonstrates no lack of knowing and willing participants. To each their own, and don't get me wrong, it's got some nice spots for photo ops, but to anyone sensible, it's not even worth the price of parking nevermind the accordingly marked up prices. You can get WAY more bang for your buck elsewhere without the bells and whistles. Let me put it this way: for the same price, would you rather go to a top notch steakhouse, or a mid-level one that happens to have some lighting ok the trees and a fire pit? Me, I'd go for the better quality meal. Again though, to each their own.

Great place to hang out especially at night or on holidays. They have many shops such as H&M, Urban Outfitter, Free people, etc. They also an abundant restaurants of different kinds of food you can choose from. There is also a fountain that you can chill by. Occasionally on weekends, they have live music here or other events. Parking can get pretty tight during weekends night. They have garages you can park at. They have the New Years' countdown here with fireworks at midnight. Parking is insane after the countdown was over. It took us over an hour to just get out of the garage.

Celebrating my sweet love's 50th Birthday with our daughter. It started out as a nice day but began raining during our lunch as we watched it pour down. We all had water to drink. We had a very nice waiter. He disappointed my husband to tell him they didn't make the snapper nachos any more but just hadn't removed it from the menu. He shared my strawberry bib salad as an appetizer instead. Our items included blackened chicken fettuccine with mushrooms and bell peppers, stuffed shrimp with green beans and mashed potatoes, and finally snapper, green beans and mashed potatoes. My daughter only ate her shrimp. She didn't enjoy her potatoes or green beans at all. My husband didn't complain about his snapper. Oddly, my entree was the least expensive and offered the most food of either of the 2 portions served. It was seasoned and the sauce was pretty good. I've had better but I was still pleased with the flavor. We passed on desserts because we had a turtle cheesecake awaiting us at home with husband's birthday gifts. I've visited two separate locations in Houston and have enjoyed both meals.

Crowded and difficult to park - but I found the $5 parking garage across the street from Brio Tuscan Grille. It's an easy walk and not crowded on a Saturday night. It's a shame that a lot of the stores close 8pm or earlier on a Saturday night, but Anthropologie was open. There was a live band tonight with Beatles cover songs. Recommended.

Just another wanna be boujie mall to try and keep the lower income people away. Saw a security guy harassing some woman who couldn't speak English but her man worked in the area. Someone stepped in before I did. You have to pay for parking on the streets or valet unless you want to use their two garages that may or may not be full. They have parking attendants who do pay attention to who didn't pay or it may have expired. So be weary of that y'all! They will get you!

$1.50 for 30 minutes parking in the garage, up to $15 max per day? Where are we? California? F this place. There's nothing here that's worth paying that much for parking! Definitely won't be coming back unless I have no choice. And that's all I have to say about that.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkkk the parking structure here. it's been awhile since I've been inside the parking but when the holy fuck did they start charging for parking. That shit is ducking dumb as fuck. Next time I park in there I'm taking a shit in the parking structure. I just wanted to comment on the parking structure that's it, the place overall is all right if you like being around white people corporate shit, place looking all clean and ish.

I was expecting a lot of clothing stores but I just didn't see it. Walked around a couple blocks and mostly what I saw was lots of restaurants. We came here the day before and are at Texas De Brazil and I thought it would be a great place to come back and shop. I think I would just prefer the Galleria if I want to go shopping again. They do have a big area the little ones can play at while you sit and have coffee.

This is a nice area however parking has always been an issue. I've parked in random areas only because there isn't any space anywhere and I just recently got a parking warning. There are meters and signs everywhere so I parked in an area that had neither and that's when I got my warning. lol. So apparently the parking garage is the only area that's free but recently when going, we saw meters for that also so I'm hoping the website is up to date and it's still free.

His place is getting more and more expensive and it's starting to become ridiculous just to get over here and park. Pretty much every garage has a glut of reserved valet parking spaces that no one is using and that no one can self park in. The amount seems to grow every couple of months. Even worse, they've now introduced "premium parking." It's $2.50/half-hour to park right in front off the business, or $1.50/hh to park on the first floor of the garage. It's absolutely ridiculous, because it's straining what little available parking was already there. I used to frequent a ton of businesses in City Centre, but it's nearly impossible to get to them anymore. It's easier to go to Cinemark Memorial City than it is to see a movie at Studio Movie Grill, and it's easier to park in front of State Fare or Cheesecake Factory than it is to get to Brio's. If this is the way they're going to treat customers, I see businesses leaving when they see less traffic coming through.

Street parking rates are ridiculous and spots are limited! If you don't pay, then you have to park in the garage, usually rooftop. Most parking in the garage is reserved for the hotel, gym, residents and various businesses. That leaves you parking on the top floor, rooftop, w/a slow ass elevator to take you to the ground floor. Why dine or shop here when you can get the same shopping in River Oaks or Galleria and park for FREE!

There are way too many spots for valet parking that are usually empty and they are in prime spots. And too much paid parking Not a customer focused place to have to pay to park to be in a reasonable and safe location. Doesn't make it a desirable place to go shop or eat There are many others there share this view

They're expanding! Oh my this is like "first date" central. Man, guys treat ya lady out and come here: go watch a movie at studio movie grill, get some froyo and just chill out by the green field where there's always something going on. Oh and, take her to Sephora to buy some makeup and shit and maybe even buy her a Polaroid camera at Urban Outfitters to capture the whole thing. Le boyfriend says: "I'm pretty sure you're hinting something at me." I am.

REVIEW for: Mccormick and Schmidt Came to this place with my co-workers to chill. If you didn't know this area, then the first thing you will complain is the parking :) like most people will say here. Number 1 tip I will give to you.. do you know that they can honor your parking as long you park in the garage next to them? Again, this is for Mccormick, not sure with other restaurant, but Yes... they did honor my parking ticket so all good. Also, if you come here at busy hours or lunch hours, expect parking problem and you need to have consideration. In terms of food, I ordered the lobster/shrimp roll which they pair it with clam chowder, but for some reason the Megan the waiteress accidentally gave me the lobster bisque which I thought is their own version of clam chowder, then moments later my ordered came in and this time I see the real clam chowder on my table so it looks like I actually ate my co-workers lobster bisque. My verdict, you should try their lobster bisque its really good which I think best pair with lobster/shrimp roll in my opinion. Their clam chowder is a bit dry and bland taste. They have nice selections on their menu and their lunch special pricing is about right. Their service is attentive and responsive in my visit, I think her name is Megan. Will come back again.

City-Centre is located outside of downtown, on the west side of town, where i-10 and beltway 8 meets. It's near Memorial City Mall. It's kind of central to everything and very convenient for people to meet. 1. Dining - There are so many restaurants to choose from. From casual eating to fine dining. They have 25 different restaurants to eat at. To name them all, you can dine at the following choices: BRIO, Tuscan Grille, Chipotle, Cyclone Anaya's, Eddie V's Prime Seafood, Fellini Gelato & Caffé, Grimaldi's Pizzeria, Grub Burger Bar, Houston Texans Grille, LifeCafé, Monnalisa, RA Sushi, Radio Milano, Red Mango, Ruggles Green, Sal y Pimienta, Salata, Seasons 52, Straits Restaurant, SWEET, Sweet Paris, Texas de Brazil, The Capital Grille, The General Public, The Tasting Room, and Yard House. 2. Activities - There are so many things you can do here, from dining, shopping, spa, lodging (apartments and hotel), and even a gym. This is a great place to bring the family, hang out with friends, or a special date after work or on the weekends. For the night life, there are bars and clubs during the evening time. They have cooking classes at Sur La Table, and I heard that there are free dance classes every 1st Saturday of the month (could be a myth). 3. Shopping - There are 21 different stores to shop from. To name them all: Allen Edmonds, Anthropologie, Bevello, Charming Charlie, Elaine Turner, Eye Couture, Free People, H&M, ivivva, J. Crew, Kendra Scott, lululemon athletica, Madewell, Muir Fine Art Gallery, OLIVE & VINE, Paper Source, Sephora, Sur La Table, Urban Outfitters, West Elm, and Z Gallerie. 4. Ambiance - Essentially, this is an outdoor mall. Restaurants and shopping centers are enclosed, but the path is an open sky. There is a plaza at the center of everything. This is where the kids play, this is where they have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. 5. Cleanliness - This place is very well kept. It's also safe, but for anywhere you go, lock your cars and don't leave your stuff unattended.

One day we were driving around Memorial, and decided to turn into an unknown street, and that's when we discovered City Centre! We started going every weekend until eventually we decided to move into one of the apartments! Walking around city center is so amazing, and the atmosphere is beautiful! Definitely my favorite location!

It's just not worth coming here on a weekend evening. The parking situation it horrible. It's just before 10:30 on a Saturday night and I've been trying to leave the parking garage for 30 minutes and have only gone about 20 feet. I can't imagine valet is moving much quicker since half the parking garage is reserved for them. This is absolutely ridiculous. I could walk home in less time than it takes to get out of this garage. Why isn't anyone directing traffic?! Seriously City Centre, get it together.

My car stalled while in Garage 2. It required a tow. The clearance at entrance is only 6' 7". The tow vehicle was not able to enter the garage despite me specifying the clearance height upon request. I called CityCentre security for assistance to push my car out of the garage. They stated they could not assist. After 3 hours in the garage, a stranger on a bicycle agreed to help and pushed my car out of the garage where the tow truck could access it.

One of the best outdoor mid-luxury shopping centers I've enjoyed ever. Beautiful architecture, everything is within walking distance and by everything they have: movie theater, restaurants, cafes, bars, makeup stores, trendy stores, clothing stores, furniture & decor stores. You can spend all day here easy. Below I'll list some of my faves and pros and cons: PROS Beautiful area to walk around Tons of shopping and dining CONS Very crowded parking (I always try my luck with street parking and depending on time/day I usually get lucky) FAVES I love Fellini cafe (some of the best cappuccino and ciocolatella I've had and awesome desserts) YardHouse (great bar and gastropub, the mac and cheese with bacon is decadent) Anthropologie (always fun collection of clothing to home decor)

Had a good time in citycentre was there for new year eve. Nice area to hang out to eat and shop. A plethora of place to eat and drink just to unwind. I had never been and was surprised as to all that was there. Will definitely be going back soon.

Each time I come to City Center I hate myself for coming here. It has been getting worse and worse as far as the absolute basics go: getting in and out quickly and easily, parking, crowds. It's got to the point that parking here is more painful than trying to park in a student lot at UH at 10am. Unless you're willing to pay up to $15 for 'preferred' parking, expect to have some a-hole steal the parking spot you've been waiting on for 5 minutes and then circling the garage(s) for another 10 minutes. It's a nightmare during peak times, and I would rather go to the galleria at Christmas than CityCentre on a weekend. There's nothing here worth the stress, find another location.

City Centre is a good place to walk around in the evening once it gets dark. The fountains have fire in them, sometimes there's a live band/musician, the trees have lights around them so they're very pretty in the evening. there are also a multitude of restaurants to get a drink from and just hang out at. I love having a quiet date night here with my husband. The only real con, in my opinion, is parking seems to be a little difficult as there are many lots that say you CAN'T park, opposed to areas where you are able to park.

Great shopping center everything is near by love how clean and maintained this place is would recommend shopping here the restaurants are really nice

Really cool place for great restaurants, live music, bars, movie theatre, and more. I really like go all the way Galleria or Downtown to divide of city life and great restrooms and ext. One con is parking

It's crazy how much citycentre has grown since it first opened up. I remember there were limited places to eat at and now you have plenty of options to choose from and dessert joints too. I love that it can be a day date or a night hangout. It's so versatile. The food here is great and they always have some kind of event every now and then. I keep coming back because citycentre has so much to offer, but the parking is terrible. Now that this outdoor center is bustlin', parking is hard to come by and most of the spaces are valet or paid parking. I will forever remember the ample space that were vacant before they got so popular, but for now I will have to suck it up and suffer like everyone else.

You got to love the place that has it all! The place that has everything that you need to make for a entirely complete experience. Say for example, you want to go shopping City Centre has got you covered: Anthropologie belle la vie Elaine Turner Eye Couture Free People J. Crew LMD Boutique lululemon athletica OLIVE & VINE Paper Source Paul Carter Jewels Sur La Table Urban Outfitters (I dont shop much so not exactly the best person to make recommendations...sorry.) Hey are you hungry?? Lets see here City Centre has got you covered on that: Bistro Alex Bistro Bar BRIO Tuscan Grille* Chipotle Cyclone Anaya's Eddie V's Prime Seafood* Flora & Muse* Houston Texans Grille Jamba Juice LifeCafé Monnalisa* RA Sushi* Red Mango Ruggles Green* Straits Restaurant* SWEET* The Tasting Room Yard House* * denotes places I recommend Hey one of my favorite parts are the great Happy Hours: Brio Eddie V's Houston Texans Grille RA Sushi Straits Restaurant Yard House!!! (my personal favorite) (Haven't been to a bad happy hour yet) So maybe you have drank a little too much or you want a great place to spend the night after a romantic evening. Guess what??!! City Centre has got chu! : Hotel Sorella is an amazingly trendy and modern hotel with great rooms and for a decent price. It also offers great conference rooms for business meeting and the banquet rooms are a great place to have weddings, receptions, and large parties. This has become the IT spot in Houston. Great location, great experience, and great atmosphere. It has everything that you need to make for an awesome experience and I hope you can go check it out! Hey did I mention the Lifestyle/Fitness spots: Houston Motor Club Life Time Athletic LifeSpa | Salon Sculptures By Design Art Gallery Studio Movie Grill

Lovely outdoor shopping plaza. You can find clothes, makeup, or even housewares and furniture. There are several food and dessert shop options (crepes, gelato, etc). During the summer movies are shown in the green space; on the weekends throughout the year there's live music, or you can catch the latest movie. Parking can be a challenge if you park in the garages that are attached to the movie theater or plaza but there is plenty. Overall we enjoy visiting City Center often

OMG, this place is a cluster. With a capital "F". I avoid this place as much as possible but sometimes I am "forced" to meet up with friends for happy hour or when H wants to take me out for a steak. The whole place is very ill planned & parking is a witch. Unless you valet. Fun place to people watch & if the weather is agreeable, nice place to walk around & window shop or whatever it is that brings you here. It's pretty & kept clean so I guess that's a plus.

The parking here is annoying. The signs saying you need to pay to park are few and far between. They are easy to miss but they will still give you a ticket! I didn't get a ticket, but I watched others get them. The parking is ill conceived. I would love it if I knew where I was once I entered the area. I don't visit this area often and I usually feel like I'm on a hunt to find the store/restaurant I'm looking for. I haven't seen good signage for the location of places. The restaurants, stores, and shops in this area are so-so. There is nothing calling my name and dragging me there. When there is inconvenient parking that costs me to park for 10 minutes, then I never want to visit. The place is clean and pretty BUT the execution of the design is flawed.

I like city centre there's been several low reviews but I think it's a nice area to enjoy a meal and just sit and enjoy the views. I like coming here for Yard house and RA. Everytime I go I see kids playing and couples just enjoying a nice walk thru here. The downside is the traffic that like to pass their the busy areas but that's about it

Tons of places to pick from if you need to go shopping, get hungry or want to just hang out during the weekend. Parking gets a little crazy on the weekends, so beware and keep in mind that you might be driving around for a little bit til you find a spot. The restaurants out there are great for any type of food mood you might be in... sushi, tex mex, italian, continental, desserts, EVERYTHING! :) Gotta love the options! Go out and enjoy!

So this is my favorite mini-town/shopping area. It's just better than all of the other town centers. Why? Food...Desserts...Bars...Shopping There is so many food options from RA to yardhouse to everything in between. Then you have Sweet...and then you have Mona Lisa and Antropologie. The best part is that everything is within walking distance and it's all closed off so you don't have to worry about real traffic. Parking can be a pain but they do have parking garages. Also the middle section has events on the weekends and friday nights.

Its a nice place to hang out with family, friends, date or even for semi-casual professional meets. There's a good variety of dining options. You can watch movie at Studio grill and eat while watching. As many reviews have mentioned, city center is not much of a shopping complex. There are very few limited stores. I never go there for shopping. There are lot of small events going on here every now and then. During weekends there's live music being played in the open lawn (plaza) area in the evening. You can check for their event lists here: http://citycentrehouston.com/events Lots of kids activities too. The plaza area is almost full with kids playing around in the evening. I enjoy hanging out here specially during those pleasant weekend evenings. There's plenty of parking garage, street parking and valet parking. Street parking and lower level parking lots are paid parking. Valet parking sometimes comes in certain exclusive deals e.g. dining in a specific restaurant etc. However, the upper level parking lots are free. During peak hours if its hard to find a free parking spot then you might still be able to find a paid spot. As opposed to many reviews where people have faced trouble with parking, luckily I haven't had much of an issue with their parking. I am a regular here mostly going there in the weekend evenings, and I park in the free lots.
