"The pair of hoteliers have partnered to turn the former St. Vincent Guest House in the LGD into the boutique Hotel Saint Vincent, featuring two promising restaurants. Most intriguing are plans to replicate popular Austin restaurant Elizabeth Street Cafe at the hotel, which will serve pastries and “French-Vietnamese favorites” for breakfast, lunch, and early dinner. The hotel’s dinner restaurant, to be called San Lorenzo, is “inspired by coastal Italian resort destinations,” and will offer a menu of seafood and lighter dishes “infused with local Cajun flavors.” The hotel and restaurants are expected to open in Spring 2021." - Clair Lorell
