We were sad to see John’s Town Hall go away, so we can’t imagine how condo dwellers at 665 S. Skinker Blvd., felt to see the downstairs hangout close. But fill the highball, the once vacant space is now occupied by Caitlin’s Green-Eyed Grill.
The bar and grill opened earlier this month, but right now, it’s just the bar serving libations and offering appetizers such as grilled scallops, steak frites, beef Wellington bites, pastry-wrapped chicken poblano, wings and hometown favorite toasted ravioli.
Chef Mark Austerman tells Sauce that Caitlin’s kitchen is slated to open Aug. 31 and will offer both lunch and dinner. The menu is in its final stages of development and is set to include the likes of steaks, burgers and pastas, as well as a selection of sandwiches for the lunch crowd. Once the dust settles with the kitchen hubbub, Caitlin’s will be rolling out Saturday and Sunday brunch as well.
Current hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 4 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Once the full menu rolls out, though, the restaurant will be open daily 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., except Mondays.
