Coming soon to Grant Park

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I hear Tin Lizzy’s Cantina is what’s planned for Grant Park’s Six Feet Under location (SFU is moving up the block into the Jane Lofts.)

Six Feet Under in Grant Park moving

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

We heard a rumor last week that Six Feet Under in Grant Park will be moving out of its much-loved location, and today the liquor license process showed the rumor to be true. Six Feet Under has applied for a license at 437 Memorial Drive, just across Cherokee from the current location. That’s in the Jane lofts, by our reckoning. We’ll keep you posted as the story develops…

The Depot opens on Memorial Drive

Monday, February 18th, 2008

depot-shrimp.jpgI live in Grant Park and we welcome any new restaurant to the area. The latest to open is the Depot (904 Memorial Drive). It’s located in an old train depot and appears to be an instant hit, if Saturday night’s full parking lot was any indication. We returned Sunday night.

The restaurant has been opened by the same people who own Vickery’s and several other restaurants. The best feature is an outside window that looks directly into the kitchen. The interior is as bare as the typical train station but has some nice touches, especially with lighting.

The food? Well, it needs improvement. Perhaps the strangest dish I sampled was corn cakes topped with shrimp, arugula and diced tomatoes. The corn cakes were tepid and were smeared with, um, wasabi paste. Please, please get rid of the wasabi.

I’ll have a full report in a few weeks.
