  • The owners of The Last Page in Pinecrest are taking over the former Corner Provisions space in Bath where they’ll open 1818 American Grille this summer. “Great food doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be done exceptionally well,” says chef Brad Race.
  • Rocky River Brewing Co. has been closed for just about a year after a devastating fire last summer. The doors will soon swing back open, however, and Gary Cintron has used the downtime to make a host of improvements and hires, including bringing on Vaughn Stewart from Bookhouse Brewing.
  • FrankieLynn Hotdogs has been carting around town dishing up dogs at bars and events for years. Soon, the owners will put the cart in storage and open a proper brick-and-mortar restaurant in Old Brooklyn.
  • Inner Circle Tavern is now open in Aurora, taking over the spot that had been home to James Place for 17 years (and Rockfish for a brief stint). Expect “globally inspired menu with French inspiration” at the 45-seat bistro.
  • Café Nocturno is your new home for late-night desserts and coffee off Public Square.
