Mariel, a food and wine bar by the folks from Pacific Grill will open this autumn at the opposite end of the Marriott from the Grill.  Should be fun.

Speaking of fun, a few Volcano staffers enjoyed an evening at the Tempest Lounge last night in the shadow of James Hume's exhibit of nudes.  The Tempest oozes swank in a shabby-chic way with lovely little tables, low lighting and fabulous drinkies. - Jason de Paul
