Just saw this over at the Exploration of Portland Food and Drink blog, then read the story at WWeek - the South Park Block #5 will have a new restaurant built over part of it - called - VIOLA (!)  Wonder if they’ll have special prices for all the violists in town…

Here’s a brief excerpt from the WW article, and Beliakoff is owner of the well-regarded restaurant Roux.

Beliakoff, in a Willamette Week exclusive, says in April of 2009 he will open a cafe, called Viola (named for the stringed instrument, not the plant), in a jewel-box sized space in the upper southwest corner of the new park.
