OLD DAILY REVIEW CAFE SPOT, NORTH MONTROSE MIGHT SOON BE UP A CREEK 
Back in March, the Daily Review Café on W. Lamar St. off Dunlavy closed temporarily with a notice about “water issues”; shortly afterward the owners announced the restaurant and its extensive patio wouldn’t reopen. A “for lease” sign has been up at the space for several months, but it now appears the property has attracted a buyer. Eater Houston’s new sleuth-in-residence Jakeisha Wilmore has gathered clues that point to the participation of Gary Mosley’s Creek Group, the company behind the Onion Creek Coffee House, Dry Creek Cafe, and the Cedar Creek and Canyon Creek Bars and Grills. Only this time, the serial restaurateur appears to be flying under a different name: “A limited liability company formed under Piggy’s Tavern was filed by Mosley’s restaurant group in August,” Wilmore writes. “The group also filed for a mixed beverage permit and mixed beverage late night permit from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC). The address listed to conduct business is 3412 West Lamar,” the Daily Review spot. [Eater Houston] Photo: Daily Review Café

Does anybody remember when Daily Review opened and it was THE hottest restaurant in Houston? Tuesday at 6:45pm there would be a line out the door type of buzz. That was a long time ago.
Finally….
I remember – that was the late 90s, correct?
I haven’t been there in years. . .
Yes this was a great restaurant in the late 90s
8-0’s was also the hip place in 1996!
Anon, I do. Loved Daily Review, then Claire left and it went downhill.
We had a pretty terrible experience there roughly August of ’13. It had definitely gone downhill, seemed like the employee’s were all on drugs.
