Say ‘Si’ to tapas on West Main
by Dave McNair
Dish has confirmed that Richmond restaurateur Mo Roman, who owns Si, the trendy tapas restaurant and bar in the Fan District, has purchased the former Starr Hill Restaurant & Music Hall building on West Main and plans to bring his Spanish-style tapas and hipster late-night scene to Charlottesville sometime in August (which often times means more like September or October). Roman did not immediately return our calls, but we’ll keep trying. In the meantime, you can check some reviews of Si here. Looks like Mas and Bang will have a little competition. Has anyone been to the Richmond location?
I go to Si in Richmond, just about every Monday for the half price wine special. It’s my favorite restaurant in Richmond right now. I work in Charlottesville and Richmond. Now I’ll be able to enjoy their tapas anytime.
bang sux, so that won’t be hard to beat, but Mas is Jammin and hard to top their tapas!
Bang is overrated. Mas runs circles around them.
I had been to many other tapas restaurants in DC, NY and Chicago but I can tell you for sure that MAS is the most ORIGINAL tapas restaurant. If SI opens,they better top MAS otherwise it would be a bummer.
