Fresh off a string of recent restaurant closures, San Antonio\u2019s Pearl development has added a high-profile opening to the mix. <\/p>\n

LoverBoy House Eats \u2014\u00a0the latest concept from the team behind Alamo City brunch haven Box St. All Day \u2014\u00a0will open later this year, Pearl officials said Tuesday. The project comes courtesy of No Risk No Magic Hospitality Group, the crew known for pairing approachable menus with design-forward digs.<\/p>\n

The new spot will land next to Coopers Row and across the San Antonio River from Pullman Market, anchoring what\u2019s quickly becoming one of the buzziest pockets of Pearl\u2019s ongoing growth.<\/p>\n

If Box St.\u2019s aesthetic-forward brunch plates and airy spaces are any indication, LoverBoy won\u2019t be playing it safe. The concept will revolve around inventive but unfussy fare, carefully crafted drinks and an all-day energy shift \u2014 much like its sister concept \u2014\u00a0according to details shared by the team.<\/p>\n

Neither Pearl nor No Risk officials disclosed specifics about LoverBoy\u2019s menu. They also offered no official opening date for the dining spot. <\/p>\n

The concept is led by Head Chef and Operations Director Edward Garcia III, Brand Strategist and Interior Designer Caroline Garcia-Bowman and Director of Vision Casting and Strategic Partnerships Daniel Trevino \u2014 the trio behind Box St.\u2019s rise from pop-up to an SA staple with two locations. <\/p>\n

Garcia-Bowman describes the project as a new creative chapter for the team \u2014 one centered on connection and the San Antonio\u2019s evolving energy.<\/p>\n

LoverBoy will join a wave of new development on the River Walk\u2019s west bank, including Coopers Row residences, Otto\u2019s Ice House and Perlen House, a boutique hotel now under construction.<\/p>\n

Recent dining closures at the Pearl include Cured<\/a>, which six-time James Beard Award finalist Steve McHugh shuttered last month, along with Carriqui<\/a> and Full Goods Diner<\/a>, both of which stopped serving late last year. <\/p>\n
