I was excited when I read in the Journal and Courier that the owners of La Scala would be opening a new restaurant. The restaurant, called Restauration, has taken over the space previously occupied by Pre Lounge and then by Serendipity.

I dined at Pre a few times when it was there, and my first impression when I walked in was that Serendipity looked a … [Read more...]
