Lee Farrmington, chef and owner of FIGA restaurant

By Carol McCracken  (Post # 350)

Due to the record high amount of interest on the MHN blog concerning the opening of FIGA,  it seems an update is appropriate!

Although the brown wrapping paper is down from the windows at Figa, the restaurant still has a  hurdle to jump before it can legally open its doors.  Lee Farrington, chef and owner, said this afternoon that required  inspections of the property are imminent.  Following that, she expects a series of soft openings ending in possibly a Grand Opening on New Year’s Eve.

Plans are still evolving,  so details can change.  However, the interest is high!
