Restaurant owner Sammi Loo thought it'd only take five months for her new pair of restaurants to be up and running, but obtaining the right permits has pushed back her plans by months.
The Appetites tour wrapped up in Rochester. MPR News host Tom Crann met with restaurateur Sammi Loo to talk about her journey from sushi to pastries and all things food in Med City.
In January, I noticed several social media posts saying the Half Barrel was closed for good and reached out to the restaurant for confirmation. I didn’t receive a response but did see a “closed for kitchen remodel” sign hanging on their door. That sign has been up for months but will be coming down today because a new restaurant is taking over that location! 507 Public House will open in July and feature from scratch food and a full bar.
