Yay, I did not miss the tasting at Browne! I was so sad thinking it was last Saturday and that I was sitting around my house instead of eating caviar and drinking champagne.
Well maybe not something you would normally post but this vote will set up for probably a dozen or more eateries down the road, including more than a few in Phase I.

Nick it’s a very interesting project. You’re right, that many people living in Bayside will certainly spur more restaurant development in the area. I look forward to covering them all.
Oh I meant actually in the project itself, not just spurring. There is 100,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space planned. Phase one which could break ground in a few months will offer 43K sq ft of that. Even in that pic on the link it’s an eatery with outdoor seating.
Now I heard a year or two ago they were lining up Dave and Busters as the anchor tenant. Certainly not a PFM worthy dining establishment but still a fun adult place which we don’t have too much of around here. Besides that they want to do local eateries and cafes and give them all plenty of outdoor seating.
I’m excited just to get places that are designed in a modern fashion and a little more sleek than all our restaurants now, not that I don’t like the decor of them.
