There is a hand made sign in the window that says that they will open on Dec. 8.  The paper was down off the window during the Riverside Wine Festival (really fantastic BTW!) and the interior is really clean looking in design.  There wasn't any furniture though so they are going to really have to hustle to make that date.  Maybe they are expecting a deliver this week. 

Off the thread a bit:  One of the wonderful food vendors that were there during the Winefest was Richard Grenimeyer (sp?) previewing some of his new dishes for his Blue Fish remake of Sterlings.  Good to see him back in Jacksonville.  He and Liz were the first chefs to bring big city quality, sophisticated food to Jacksonville at Kaldi's in Avondale many years ago when all you could get was barbecue and fried seafood.

Hope the food matches the quality of the decor!  Five Points/Riverside is really going upscale in the dining opportunities.  The Row, Fu Hao Bistro, Cozy Tea, now Deco Bistro.

Heard members of a woman's group coming out of Fu Hao on Friday night a week ago exclaiming about the beautiful presentations and quality of the food.  Some of them had even taken pictures of their dishes.

Went to Fu Hao about a month ago. It was great.

In the middle of the 5 Points strip on the same side as Fu Hao is a lunch only tea room run by an Indian lady who makes some of the most dynamite samosas you have ever put in your mouth.  She does a high tea that would make your grandmother swoon.  It is a piece of Victorian London set down in the middle of Jacksonville.

If we have any Mandarin or Cantonese speakers on the forum; doesn't Fu Hao mean something like "great food"? Try their curry duck.  Huge portion that you can't possibly finish until you do anyway.

It has become tradition to take my mother to Cozy Tea whenever she's in town - Almost antebellum - on par with places that you'd expect to find in Charleston or Savannah. I never know what home made soup they'll have, but they haven't missed yet.  A definite plus for the area.

Is the owner of cozy tea still doing friday night Indian dinners?  Appox a year ago, my wife & I enjoyed a fantastic 5 course meal that was a dinner & movie promo for $28 each.  We literally couldn't each any more and since the movie was about to start, the owner packaged up dessert for us.
