Frequently asked questions about our move to OTR:
Where is the new store location on Vine?
From 12th Street, heading north on Vine, we are located 3-doors before 15th Street on your left (west side of Vine) next to the new Scared Beast Restaurant by the former Boca chef. Currently you can look for landmark of the old Kroger (East side of Vine), which is across the street from our store. This old Kroger will be replaced with a new parking garage coming 2019 and after the new Kroger is completed on Court and Walnut.
Where do I park?Parking on Vine Street and nearby side streets is usually easy during the day and not during the dinner and after work hours. During dinner hours, put your name in at the restaurant of your choice and they will text you when your table is ready allowing you to shop and stop by to see us.
