| The Wild Rover closed recently in Frankfort. |
Southland Savvy
The Wild Rover, an Irish-themed restaurant and tavern that opened at 20535 S. LaGrange Road in Frankfort in November 2011, closed down in September.
A message on its Facebook page said Sept. 28 was the last
day for the establishment in the former K.T. Mae's in the Vineyards Plaza shopping
center.
The sports bar was opened by brothers John and Jim Dillon.
It featured Irish specialties and had an outdoor patio.
Pet store closes
Mocha Pet, a pet store and grooming salon that opened in
November 2011 at 7537 W. 159th St. in Tinley Park, closed its doors in
September after a brief store closing sale. It was one of two Mocha Pet stores
and the original is still open in Boston, Ohio.
Although the opening has taken several months longer than anticipated, Siam Marina appears ready to open its doors at 16846 S. Oak Park Ave. in Tinley Park.
The restaurant has scheduled a grand opening with the Tinley Park Chamber of Commerce for 5-7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10.
Owner Sam Chung was unavailable, but a manager at his Asparagus restaurant in Merrillville, Ind., confirmed the Monday grand opening. She was not certain whether the restaurant would hold a soft opening in advance of the grand opening.
Chung had originally hoped for a late spring and then a mid-summer opening, but equipment delivery problems kept pushing the opening back.
"Construction has taken a lot longer than we
expected," Chung said in February.
Chung said the menu would consist of Thai cuisine and
Vietnamese specialties created by his wife and partner executive chef Tammy
Pham, who grew up in Saigon. Other offerings will include Asian Fusion,
seafood, vegan and vegetarian dishes.
Siam Marina closed its popular Calumet City location more
than a year ago in anticipation of moving into the former Casto's restaurant.
Its sister restaurant Asparagus remained open throughout the construction.
Chung said fans should watch the restaurant's Facebook page
for an exact opening date or they could sign up on its website page at www.siammarina.com for a monthly
newsletter. There is a recorded message for customers at its new phone number
708-407-8825.
Hours are scheduled to be from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to
Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
A new Lou Malnati's
opens
Popular Chicago pizzeria Lou Malnati's opened its latest
location Sept. 25 at 12801 S. Harlem Ave. in Palos Heights.
The pizzeria is in a small strip center that will also be
home to a new Jersey Mike's sandwich shop and Great Clips hair salon.
The location offers carryout, delivery and catering. It is
the third Lou Malnati's in the south suburbs and all are carryout and delivery
only. The company operates 13 dine-in locations and 25 carryout and delivery
stores. Other Southland locations are in Oak Lawn and Tinley Park.
Hours are 4-10 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Friday and Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
