The Brevardian Riverfront, an ambitious new restaurant, is soon coming to 2459 Pineapple Ave in Melbourne, replacing the former Bonefish Willy’s. The establishment will be run by co-owners Patricia Rieger of Cypress Table and local businessman Corey Russ.
According to a highly detailed report in MSN, upgrades to the space will include an expansion of the kitchen to include Bonefish Willy’s former dining room, and the apartment transformation into an “intimate, but roomy dining room with a view.”
The report adds that the “deck and bar will remain, and a lower deck that runs beside the new dining room will be available for private event rentals.”
In way of food, the menu will have a “fine-dining feel” as co-owner and chef Rieger “has been experimenting with johnnycakes, cornmeal flatbreads once a staple on the Atlantic Coast. Instead of a flat, pancake-like creation, though, she’s working on a light, airy johnnycake soufflé. There’s also a beet and orange risotto with pan-seared grouper. Shrimp and grits will be served with a smoked tomato broth. The smoked heritage pork chip will get an orange marmalade glaze.”
The duo hope to open the restaurant sometime in the fall.
