Work Resuming At Old OTB On Court Street

oo







Back in September 2007, there was talk of a new restaurant coming to the space
once occupied by O.T.B. at 320 Court Street.
The name of the establishment was supposedly going to be 'Huîtres', the French word for oysters. Construction started on the space that fall, an application for a liquor license had been filed, and then... nothing. Windows were boarded up and construction paper was taped over the glass doors. And there it sat. Until now, that is.

As I walked by there last week, someone was cutting up some wood right in front of the place. Y
esterday in the afternoon, the door was open and I glimpsed an arched brick wall and what looked like a tiled kitchen area with counter, indicating that someone had done some serious work in the place.
Does anyone out there know if this is still going to be Huîtres or another restaurant?

the yoga studio is on the second floor, with two apartments on the third floor. no cat house there in at least the last three years. they've been working on the restaurant on and off for at least the last two and a half years (with the brick arch and long bar completed many months ago), but although there's been more activity recently, it's still a far way from completion.
