Food Scene
Lots to do and see in this area! Worth paying for roof access and a meal overlooking the downtown skyline.
Park in the garage and allow for time to walk around the area and explore the park and water feature across the street to the south and along the beltline.

Agave Restaurant

Also another favorite eatery for decades. I think that says a lot in a market of foodies where a restaurant has this kind of longevity. The dining outside reminds me of a quiet European town.

I've been co.ing here for years. The history alone is interesting. It was a hydro-powered factory during the Civil War and you can still see where the water was diverted. The ruins of the factory are still there, too.
Picnic areas are nearby, too. As is 6 Flags Theme Park.
