Numerous readers have asked what's going on with Ziryab, the Mediterranean restaurant on Divisadero between Fell and Hayes.
Ziryab has been closed since January, when a notice was posted outside the restaurant saying, "We are currently closed for renovations and will be reopening in March." Clearly that wasn't quite accurate. Then in early May, Stephen over at The Corridor reported that Ziryab would be re-opening "a few days after Bay to Breakers." So here we are in mid-June. What gives? Today we called the restaurant and were told that they're "about 10 days to two weeks" from opening. They're renovating the space to put more of an emphasis on the bar -- it will now be 50% bar, 50% restaurant. The food menu should remain the same, thankfully. So with any luck, we'll be enjoying Ziryab's falafels and shawermas again by the end of June. Fingers crossed...
