A new Kefi, coming soon

Kefi was to have opened in its new, expanded location in July, when this photo was taken. That, at least, was the plan. I stopped in at the current Kefi on Monday afternoon, before dinner service had started, and had the good fortune to find chef-owner Michael Psilakis sitting in the front room. Although transforming the space left by the prior tenant (a Mediterranean restaurant and lounge called Loft) required much more work than first anticipated, he now expects that the new Kefi will open in two to three weeks.

Meantime, we'll have to make do with the current Kefi. Also Anthos. And for good measure, Mia Dona.
