"Cameron McVeigh, the former general manager of César for seven years, had been searching for a location to open a new restaurant after César closed in 2022."
"The idea for the new restaurant was always 'patterning it after César, with a lot of the same people and some of the same employees,' McVeigh said."
"Lewis said he's been encouraging McVeigh to open his own restaurant since César closed. 'The people who ran it created this sort of community vibe that I just loved,' he told NOSH."
"The restaurant and bar will replace the shuttered Three One Four Pizzeria, located at 1329 Gilman St., as first reported by Berkeley Eats."
