Haven't yet tried Riverside's Restaurant Omakase? You better hurry!
If you haven't yet been to Riverside's highly-praised Restaurant Omakase / Bistro O, you've got 'til the end of the month to give it a try.
That's because the founders of Restaurant Omakase / Bistro O will close its doors March 31 in preparation for their new restaurant, The Salted Pig, which is projected to open in early Fall 2010.
In a press release, Brein Clements, executive chef and co-proprietor with his wife, Roryann Clements, said, "We are sad to bid farewell to Restaurant Omakase / Bistro O, our labor of love over the past four years."
"But, we are excited for the opportunity to create a whole new restaurant offering for the community, one that can be described as a casual, inviting and 'whimsical' restaurant which will offer a quirky combination of a rustic pub and upscale steakhouse in both its atmosphere and menu items."
A farewell celebration has been planned for March 24 through 31 where Chef Brein will offer customers a glimpse at some of the various snacks and appetizers he has created for The Salted Pig's diverse, internationally inspired menu. They will be offered at a special price during the restaurants regular dinner hours.
