Eat section[edit]

Hi, everyone. I've never been to Houston, so I don't know how great or otherwise the restaurants listed are. Does VOICE deserve its own listing separate from Hotel Icon? Oxheart has gotten some nice praise locally (for example [1] and, if you trust it, 4 stars and some nice comments on Yelp), though the entry had said it was also praised nationally, and I edited that out, pending citations in national publications. Is Irma's an institution? I think it's entirely proper to speak highly of great restaurants; I just wonder whether all three of these restaurants are worth this much praise, and my guess is that the odd one out is VOICE, the hotel restaurant, but I sure don't know.

I'm a former long-time Houston resident (now recently moved to LA), and am the one who made the Oxheart edit. I didn't add the entry for Irma's, but it is generally considered an institution. I think the write-up could be much improved, though (I plan to eventually go over all the Houston pages).
VOICE no longer exists (technically it is has been totally revamped into a new concept called "Line & Lariat", I believe). It's probably safe to get rid of this entry for now if y'all want.
RE:Oxheart... I wasn't aware that citations were required in Wikitravel/voyage? Well, here are some anyway:

Citations are not required in articles, but claims of nationwide fame can use this kind of backup. Thanks a lot. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. John (talk) 00:52, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
