Second Lansdowne restaurant from Sycamore owners
A second restaurant is on deck for Steve and Jennifer Wagner, owners of jewel-box Lansdowne BYOB Sycamore (14 S. Lansdowne Ave.), run by chef Sam Jacobson. Located in an old hair salon on 24 N. Lansdowne Ave., the 60-seat spot will be more casual than Sycamore, with a small-plate Mediterranean menu and pizzas cooked on the grill, in the style of Providence, R.I. and Friend of Meal Ticket Mike Persico. "The dough goes directly on the wood-burning grill," says Jacobson. "It's fantastic."
Greg Dooner, current Sycamore sous, will move down the block to be chef de cuisine at the as-yet-unnamed restaurant, while Jacobson will oversee both operations. They've got plenty of time to hammer out the details. "It's not going to be opening anytime soon," says Jacobson. "I'd be surprised if it were open before the end of this calendar year." We’ll be waiting.
