Some of you know about this, others might not so I wanted to make sure - like shout it from the roof tops - we have a new, wonderful restaurant in the downtown!

Nee Lau from China Wok and his business partner Alice Liu have been working for nine months to turn the space next to the Empress Theatre, 324 Virginia, into an Italian restaurant with a cafe next door. I've had lunch and dinner there so far and I can honestly say the food is excellent! No need to drive to Napa.

Yep, even Benician's will be coming over for great food.

The cafe opens at 6 a.m. M-F and 8 a.m. Sat & Sun. and closes at 10 p.m.! The coffee is Uncommon Grounds and the pastries are made by the pastry chef at the restaurant. Yes, fresh pastries!

The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., 7 days a week!!! As of next week they'll have their liquor license. With a full bar and an extensive wine list in addition to staying open past the point where the sidewalk rolls up, we have a great place to hang, eat drink and truly be merry.

Nick and I have oft lamented the lack of a gathering place like in the old Mel's days of yore on the weekends. It's baaaaack!

So please, come down and support what we've all been saying we need, a great restaurant & cafe. I also encourage you to continue to show your support (aka eat at) Georgia Street Grill & China Wok. I would hate to see these other wonderful places get less business. Pass this message on to your friends.
