Cory Harwell of Simon Hospitality Group said the community has responded “incredibly positively” to Standard & Pour, where specialties include scallop crudo, venison tartare and a wine and cheese sundae. Next up: a pan-Asian concept in the Huntridge area.
What a racket. It actually was a racket — properly called a rachetta — that drew me into La Bella Napoli Pizzeria at Town Square.
When you click on “entrees” on the website for Tom’s Urban, there’s a juicy, full-color image of the ribs, complete with detailed description. But when we got to the restaurant there was no sign of them on the menu or anywhere else.
