Tidbits: Church Street

One of Incanto's New Pigs

Grubstreet tipped us off that AmberJack Sushi is for sale. Apparently chef-owner Stewart Chen is offloading restaurants all over the place and "has decided to retire." Or not. Listing here.

Speaking of sushi, still no change at Deep: Modern Izakaya. That is...except for a notice on the door that the dishwashing equipment is leased and they want it back. Guess their last tweet in September really didn't pan out.

Re:Construction Salon is open in the old When Modern Was space at 1504 Church St.

Heliotrope is set to open in the old Green Twig space at 1515 Church St. Expect: "Natural, locally sourced skin care, customized aromatherapy blends, personal health products and decorative accessories." Since the landlord advertised a "one year lease--no options" they'll need to stabilize pretty darn quick. Still shooting for "early June."

Finally, we heard through the grapevine that Vetran's Liquor at 1710 Church St has actually been leased as a non-retail office for months now. You'd think they'd want to at least replace the broken glass?

Deep Restaurant: Not Open After All

Deep Restaurant, the "modern izakaya"/sushi spot on Church @ Day is no longer open for business. The restaurant's windows are again covered in paper and a sign in the window announces the "pre-opening" period is over. The restaurant "will close to the public to prepare for our Grand Opening." Could it have something to do with the building being for sale? Another possible reason for the closing is the note mentions chef Thomas Weibull's "upcoming nuptials."

Apparently they've been closed since October 1st. As to when they'll reopen? No firm date mentioned on the note, on deep-sf.com or on Facebook, although OpenTable shows reservations available starting December 1.

Food Bites: Coming soon to Noe Valley

By Robbie Miller

No longer a rumor, Deep Modern Izakaya will be hosting a "soft opening" August 26th through September 16th, Monday-Friday. There are two seatings -- 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm. They are welcoming friends, family and the community but requesting that you make a reservation due to limited space. Email reservations@deep-sf.com or by call 415.648.DEEP (3337). 1740 Church St. @ Day.

Looks as though La Boulange Cafe and Bakery is wasting no time in preparing their storefront in the space recently known as Noe Valley Pizza Restaurant. 3898 24th St. @ Sanchez.
