After four years at its cramped Main Street location, Lalo closed its doors this week to get ready to open at 26 W. Court St. in early March. “We’ll leave the past behind,” says co-owner Tobias Harris, laughing optimistically.

When Harris opened the Latin/Asian fusion restaurant with Trang Vo and Eduardo Reyes, the group expected that there would be problems. After all, in 2013, Harris, Vo, and Harris’s friend, Jennifer Eng, started Huit Group, of which Lalo is a property, as “restaurant rookies.” The original members are designers or architects by trade, and they created the restaurant group to experiment with concepts and learn how to run a restaurant along the way.
