We noticed that the location of the old McCormick & Schmidt restaurant on Congress was being renovated for a new purveyor. (That steak chain retreated to its Domain location.) I always hope for something more creative than steaks...even if it is seafood and steaks when new joints open up. Like a classic French Bistro??? We already have, let's see, Ruth's Chris, Perry's, Eddie V's, Bob's Chophouse, Rivals, III Forks, Sullivan's, Truluck's, Vince Young and Fleming's peddling basic surf and turf. Not to mention that the format at Trio, Finn and Porter, Roaring Fork isn't far off that mark. But if you come to Austin (or come downtown if you are an Austinite) and want a steak then no worries. The reflection is of your intrepid reporter FFP, in shirtsleeves on a balmy Novemeber day, just before Thanksgiving.
