The latest new restaurant to be made official for Westfield Montgomery shopping mall is CRAVE, a combination American and sushi restaurant that will open near Bobby’s Burger Palace and The Cheesecake Factory.
Westfield on Wednesday announced CRAVE and four other restaurants (some that had already been reported) are coming to the mall by the end of the year.
It’s all part of the $90 million renovation project of the former Montgomery Mall, which will be anchored by a 16-screen ArcLight Cinema and Dining Terrace near the existing Macy’s entrance.
CRAVE will open this fall. The restaurant’s tenth location will be its first in the northeast. Others are located in Minnesota, Ohio, Nebraska, Texas and Florida:
Winner of the National Restaurant Association “Hot Concepts” award in 2012, CRAVE creates a unique dining experience where guests can enjoy an eclectic American menu and a full sushi bar in a chic yet causal atmosphere. The energy of the restaurant is all encompassing – from its warm and open design to its modern sushi bar highlighted by backlit onyx and a beautiful wine tower. Its fresh spin on American cuisine offers a sense of discovery around every corner, while the authentic sushi experience is perfect for adventurous diners and seasoned sushi fans alike. The restaurant will be located on the lower level near Bobby’s Burger Palace and The Cheesecake Factory.
Westfield Montgomery (7101 Democracy Blvd.) also announced the Boston-based MET Restaurant Group will open its first location outside of Massachusetts with its MET Bethesda restaurant. The 6,000-square-foot space will include a wood burning grill and 40-seat bar directly across from the ArcLight Cinemas.
Blaze Pizza, the fast casual pizza concept from the founder of mall favorite Wetzel’s Pretzels, will open this summer across from Aroma Espresso Bar. The announcement also included Cava Grill and Chipotle, which will open in the new Dining Terrace when its completed this summer.
