Za-Za's UPDATE

John Beechboard, co-owner of Za-Za Fine Salad and Wood-Oven Pizza Company, says the restaurant will open, “come hell or high water” on Monday, May 5, in the Height's Theater.

Beechboard is talking a big game about their gelato and sobretto. Lots of experimentation.

UPDATE: Chalk it up to hell and high water and irrational exuberance. Saturday, May 3, we heard that the opening will be at least a week later, though some shakedown work is underway and a private party was held on premises Friday night.

FINALLY. A restaurant opening to look forward to. I can't WAIT to check it out.

This place will knock it out of the park. No doubt whatsoever.

They have got to get their asses up to the plate before they can knock it out of the park.

Open, already!

Come on JenJens - go get the scoop. When can we expect Za-Za's to open?

Reliable sources tell me they opened Friday. Any one heard otherwise? I suppose I could just pick up the phone and call to confirm...

I also hear that they will be serving food "family style"- i.e. choice cuts of beef to be shared by 4-6 people.

I peered through the windows of Za- Za's a couple of weekends ago and from what I could see, the interior looks pretty cool. Looks like the venue got a much needed update.

Whoops.

And by "opened," I meant "held a private party." Just read Lindsey's update.

Doh!

On the evening of July 20, a concerned aunt drove her 26-month-old nephew to a Department of Human Services office in Little Rock to show caseworkers the bruises on his buttocks and back. The child had been spending the night at his aunt's when she changed his diaper and discovered the marks. /more/
