According to a recently submitted building permit application, the Soy House, which has a Vietnamese restaurant at Bakerview Square, wants to make some tenant improvements to the former Boss Tweed building at 400 W. Holly St.
I’ll try to track down the details. If the Soy House does open a restaurant there, it’ll be the first sit-down eatery in that spot since Boss Tweed closed in 2007. For a time, it had been used as a catering facility.
UPDATE: I talked to Tam Bratt (her brother, Tony Nguyen, owns the Soy House), who said the former Boss Tweed facility will be a second location for Soy House. If all goes as expected, they plan to have the downtown restaurant open in the late spring or early summer. The downtown location will have a similar menu but almost four times more space and possibly some outdoor seating.
I miss Boss Tweed. A lot.
