Cant wait for this new restaurant to open! I noticed the permit on the window a few weeks ago. Their website says:

We will be open breakfast + lunch + dinner + late night with an
extensive menu of seasonal and locally sourced organic products
at very attractive price points.

Full "artisanal" bar with a great selection of locally produced craft
beers on tap and an extensive and affordable wine list.

In addition we will have a "chef's pantry" offering daily selection of
salads, pasta, sandwiches, pastries and pre-prepared entrees to go.
