RTD on what’s going into Cielito Lindo and Mandarin Palace
No precise details on the menus of the new-comers but enough information to make your tastebuds do the happy dance.
Good news for those of us that eat out way to much for our budget’s or waistline’s liking.
Karri Pieffer of RTD has the details on the shuttered Cielito Lindo and Mandarin Palace. Both projects headed up by Johnny Giavos.
Little Nickel will be opening in Cielito Lindo’s space in September.
The food will match the decor concept, but Giavos is waiting to nail down the menu until he brings on a chef. The food will be affordable, though, and there will be nachos.
The bar, too, was demolished to make way for a larger one, which will now seat roughly 10 people. There, patrons will find Caribbean-inspired cocktails — and a few frozen drinks, too.
Mandarin Palace on the other will be more coffee shop/cafe than full on restaurant.
The Galley coffee (again, not its real name), won’t actually be accessible from The Galley restaurant. The kitchen is the adjoining building between the dining room and the coffee area, but the coffee shop will be an extension of Galley.
Giavos said he’s thinking about it more as a fast casual space where diners can grab prepared food and sandwiches to-go.
