The Downtown Investment Authority board is advancing plans to establish a city-owned restaurant at the site of the new Riverfront Plaza park on the Northbank.
The board voted 9-0 on Wednesday in favor of a resolution supporting a proposal for the DIA to build a shell building and choose an operator to build out the structure and operate a restaurant in it.

DIA documents call for the restaurant to “dependably be open morning to night, seven days a week,” and offer “Regional/American, Seafood, Southern” food while avoiding “anything flavor or culturally specific i.e. Sushi, Brazilian Steakhouse, BBQ, Vegetarian, etc.”
