Welcome to the Mid-Week Menu, our weekly roundup of East Bay food news.
1) Two months after opening Lungomare in Jack London Square, Chris Pastena (Chop Bar) and Temoor Noor (Grand Tavern) are ready to launch yet another high-profile project in Downtown Oakland. Tribune Tavern, a 150-seat restaurant on the ground floor of the historic Tribune Tower (401 13th St.), will open for dinner on Wednesday, April 10. Chef Huw Thornton’s menu plays off the tavern/pub theme, with versions of dishes like shepherd’s pie and Welsh rarebit, as well as a selection of dry-aged steaks.
