Delay in permits notwithstanding, work is ongoing at Havana South. We are on-site most days, as we do have our demolition permit, so we can demolish anything we want. Just can’t rebuild, yet.
All these delays simply give us more time to change our minds about exactly where things are going to go. We do have down the basics; kitchen here, bar over there, semi-private room over in this corner, etc. etc. It also gives us plenty of time to peruse the HUGE wine offerings of National and Nappi distributors, two companies that weren’t accessible to us in Bar Harbor. Our wine list will be similiar to the one in Bar Harbor, with a focus on Spain, South America and a bit of everything else. And yes, we will certainly have Clio and El Nido, but we are also hoping to redesign the list so that there will be a page of by-the-glass offerings, and then a page of “Great Bottles for $25 and Under” or something like that. Again, anyone looking to splurge and find a rare Sine Qua Non or Vega Sicilia will find it, but things are tight all over and we hope to be a place that is affordable, yet still formal. More on that in a subsequent post.
