This weekend, we posted the opening menu of chef Mike Stollenwerk's fish (1708 Lombard St.) for y'all. Now check out a few interior shots of the restaurant, which is taking over the longtime Astral Plane space that was briefly ChrisStevens BYOB.

Stollenwerk has reworked the space entirely, and was taking care of a few finishing touches when we popped by Saturday. There's a bar side and a dining room side to the space, with room for nine and 40, respectively. He refinished the hardwood floors in the dining room, brightened it up with skylights and new paint and introduced deep red banquettes and a raised platform in the back. Behind the granite bar is where you'll find the shucking station (check out the "raw" portion of the menu), plus room for some cocktail-y concoctions � they're making the own ginger ale from scratch for a Pimms Cup, one of a handful of classics they'll be mixing.

Stollenwerk is aiming to open fish to the public next Monday, Oct. 5.
