The restaurant at 205 W. Third St. closed in July 2010 as road construction projects – including the widening of Third Street and the construction of new ramps for the Hill-to-Hill Bridge – began to dominate the landscape.
With a needed reconfiguration of its parking lot and some financial trouble for the chain, the restaurant’s reopening started to look uncertain in 2011. The wait is finally over.
