I made my way to Patois, a.k.a. the Caribbean restaurant that took over the space formerly occupied by the Rustic Goat, for their grand opening Saturday evening. There were kinks to be worked out, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt – mainly because it’s been a minute since the space operated as a full-fledged restaurant, but partly because a few of my friends work there as part of its Caribbean cuisine incarnation. It was poppin’ with people though. I saw some of my favorite folks in the building. Kira Van Niel, Toi fromDe’Borah Bloom and Leon Williamson to name a few. Oh and Sorry Shaki, I didn’t notice you until I was already out the door and The Ready Room R&B shows tend to start on time. I’m eager to see what Patois turns into. Looks like the club element of Rustic Goat is being scooted next door and HG has gone on to glory.
