That's a good solid (and good humoured) post there from the new owner, I wish them well and it'll be interesting to have something new on the strip. I'm interested in the style of food too, as the Ottelenghi vibe is most delicious. I ate at Yosma last nite and loved it. If there was something like that in some way and local it'd be good. Maybe a little background of what the kitchen team and owners have been up to before would be nice to know. Good luck and all that too.
