news dear to a violist’s heart…
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.

I will certainly consider it– thanks for the early excitement! We are very much looking forward to the Cafe and its beautiful patio. Maybe we should debut the space with a “violist-farmer-chef” dinner.
You’ll here more soon!
I know the viola section of the OSO is already a-buzz about our eponymous restaurant - keep us posted!
