The site where the former Locust Crest was, is now undergoing a full renovation to prepare for the opening a new restaurant by the name of La Porta. From what I've been told the new creation will be a pizzeria/wine bar atmosphere. More can be read here.
I had a chance to stop by and see the work being done to the building. From what I saw, it will look a lot different from the old Locust Crest when complete. I just hope the keep the working fireplace.
The sign says they'll be open in 2012, but I've heard it may be sooner than that. I was quite fond of the Locust Crest, but this will definitely be worth a try. Good luck to La Porta!
They raised the roof and added windows to the former bar area |
will they still have that great chili?
