The following list is accurate as of a late October press date. A condensed version will be published in SLM's December 2016 issue.
Editor's Note: The number of multiple locations (5) and new location moves (2) notwithstanding, October 2016 was a healthy month for restaurant openings in the metro, but we must say goodbye to the Companion cafe in Clayton and to Nathalie's in the CWE, among others. All eyes are on Sardella, the much-anticipated restaurant from Gerard Craft in the former Niche space, and on Herbie's, relocating to the former Clayton Cardwell's space mid-month.
