There are lots of great and exciting changes happening to
local restaurants this year, and some possibly not so great changes! Here’s a
list of some of the changes that have happened recently, or will happen soon.
Cyrus Restaurant:
They have announced that they will be leaving their current location in the
Hotel Les Mars at the end of October. Owners Douglas Keane and Nick Peyton have
kept all rights to the name, but have not officially if/when/where they will be
opening another Cyrus location.
Ravenous:
Longtime favorite Ravenous has left their larger location that most guests are
familiar with and moved to their former location, Ravenette. This is a smaller
restaurant, making it easier to manage, but also means reservations this fall
may be harder to procure!
Bravas Bar De Tapas:
In Ravenous’s prior location at 420 Center Street, Mark and Terri Stark (owners
of local favorite Willi’s Seafood) have taken over and are doing a remodel of
the entire restaurant. They plan to open Labor Day weekend with their new Spanish
tapas bar.
Campo Fino: A new
sister restaurant to Scopa. Located on Healdsburg Avenue, just around the
corner from Scopa, this is an Italian tapas bar. They do not take reservations.
This location offers a beautiful outdoor patio, featuring a bocce ball court!
Parish Café: Soon
to open just south of the plaza on Mill Street, this is a Louisiana restaurant
that will feature po boys, gumbo and beignets!
Petite Syrah
(Formally names Syrah): A longtime favorite in Santa Rosa, this is another restaurant
that will be closing at the end of the fall. Chef Josh Silvers, after a life
changing weight loss, has decided to change it up, and open with a new, healthier,
less expensive restaurant, but not sure on the name or opening date of the new
restaurant yet.
