So you walk in and there are three options to choose from, kinda like a food court?

I'll try to figure it out tonight. Report back here.

OK, back from the assignment.

 

All entry is via the foyer, the one you used to enter Pescatores through.

 

When you get into that foyer, straight ahead is Kitchen, the former Pescatores entrance.

 

But now off to the right is the entry to The Commons.  The Commons is mostly the Oyster space, plus more added to the west.

 

Raw Bar is sort of in the middle of it all, facing east but with no window view.  As advertised earlier, it has just 12 seats.

 

It's not all quite done.  Had a chance to chat with Mike Murphy, he's quite glad it's finally open.

Who is "they" and why are they so misguided?

They are working on a landscape feature, soon they say.

scootered by Pescatores on Saturday and had a better look around.  the problem with high seating and tables has been compounded by the new seating on their patio; not quite as high, at least my chin would be above table height.  booths are out of the question and the bar has only high seats.  I would need two strong servers to get me up on one.  the seating in the kitchen is normal table and chairs but I think that it may be pricey.  the bathrooms have been cleverly designed with double, heavy doors to preclude actually getting into the accessible washroom.  I didn't get in, even with the help of the hostess, so I couldn't try getting out.  automatic door openers would help.  in the old configuration, they had regular tables on the patio which they could bring into Oyster if necessary.  I'll have to get my oyster fix elsewhere.  suggestions?

Now it’s called 10 Acres Kitchen and 10 Acres Common.

The pescatores mane is done.

^For a couple of years now I think. It's Common, Kitchen, and Bistro for the three sections.

Ya, but they were all "under the Pescatores banner".   Now they are labelled 10 Acres.

Once upon a time it was Pescatores, The Oyster, and 10 Acres.

In 2015 it became The Kitchen and The Commons under the Pescatore banner, and 10 Acres.

But they have all been under the 10 Acres name (Bistro, Commons, Kitchen) for well over a year now.

[Mike K.]

So we should rename this thread 10 Acres now?

Why did they ditch their glass patio fence and install that dreadful looking painted plywood one?

[Greg]

I like that it is less enclosed and more open to the sidewalk. That doesn't really justify the cheap finish of the current arrangement though.
