Partnership with The Lumbar
Castro said that Cantina will collaborate with The Lumbar in Pepper Place in-between building leases to ensure we’re not without our favorite fish tacos for long! Cantina will begin their partnership with Lumbar on May 8, serving a limited lunch and dinner menu. For now, they are definitely still open in Pepper Place.
Hot and Hot Fish Club moving to Pepper Place
The nationally renowned restaurant Hot and Hot Fish Club, co-owned by James Beard Award winner Chris Hastings, will relocate from their current southside Highland Plaza location to the vacant space in Pepper Place’s Martin Biscuit Building this fall. Construction is expected to begin next month.
Once opened in Pepper Place, Hot and Hot Fish Club will boast a number of improvements. Expect a larger dining room, expanded bar area and menu as well as a roomier patio at the new location!
Another plus: the future location will be less than 100 yards from owners Idie and Chris Hastings’ second restaurant, OvenBird.
