Max’s Wine Dive and Piranha Killer Sushi will soon become the newest residents of the local downtown scene at 207 San Jacinto St., just north of P.F. Chang’s. The two restaurants are expected to open early next year.
Max’s, originated in Houston in 2006, and quickly earned a loyal following with its eclectic menu which included everything from fried alligator with Thai glaze to oyster nachos with habanero salsa. It was recently named one of the 10 hottest wine bars in the country by Bon Appetit magazine.
Piranha Killer Sushi made its debut in Arlington in 2001 and has since opened two additional North Texas Locations. Owners feel that its trendy name and laid-back style will be a perfect fit for Downtown Austin. Both restaurants promise to bring a new flavor to the area and will certainly be worth a visit.
