It wasn't that long ago that the restaurant underwent a major renovation to become Cliff Cafe.

Tim Byres had an amazing place going at Standard. He's a very talented chef.
If this place emphasizes 'comfort foot' without the deep frying, 4lbs of butter & batter, and the Tristan-bar-food-is-getting-old-school formula, then it could be as big a success as Bolsa is now with those owners behind it!
