Manny’s Bistro Opens, Chateau Soho Closes
Chateau Soho on South Howard has closed and in its place Manny’s Bistro has opened up. You know, It’s the one that they painted entirely pink. I wondered how long Chateau Soho would survive. Every time I walked buy it was empty, with the employees hanging around waiting for a customer. It was even slow on Thursdays and Fridays when Ceviche was lined with cars. I don’t think that South Tampa is ready for French.
So, in its place is Manny’s Bistro which prominently features a banner proclaiming that it is an “American” bistro. Read “not French”. The pink is gone, the interior has been remodeled, and the chef is from New Orleans. I’ll have to give it a try soon.
