Cool!!!!



I knew something was going on there, because I've seen activity over the past few months. I wonder if it will be both storefronts or just one?

The other storefront, 1128 Washington, is having the floors redone by Artistic Concrete, so something is going in there. I think these spaces are awfully narrow for a restaurant, so I'd assume it'll be both.

[sarcasm]Hopefully it won't be as fake as everything else on Washington Avenue.[/sarcasm]



Seriously, this should be a great addition to downtown! Anyone know of a projected opening date?

It looks weeks away at best. They were suppose to have been open around the 1st of April.

I looked in the door on Sunday. I would say another month at least.



One thing that did look cool is that they have a concrete bar!

Nice, neo-soviet chic. I wonder if they will have a serious vodka selection?

I read yesterday, they are looking to open June 1st. I don't see them making that date, they kitchen isn't even built. Looks like they have been plagued with the same delays as Simply Fondue.

You mean the Simply Fondue that was supposed to open last September, then last December, then January, then February, then March, then April and still isn't open the 2nd week of May? :wink:
