1616 Gervais delays open date

Due to "an unfortunate equipment issue," Restaurant 1616 Gervais has delayed its Aug. 26 open date in the space formerly occupied by The Back Porch restaurant, owner Susan “Susu” Morningstar announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page Wednesday.

“Due to an unfortunate equipment issue we are opting to postpone our grand opening until we can present you the BEST 1616 Bistro,” the post reads. “We are just as disappointed as you are that we will not open this Friday.”

Morningstar has not set a new open date yet.
