De Cavel plans to open eatery
Jean-Robert de Cavel plans to open a new restaurant Downtown. He hopes to open Jean-Robert's Table by Dec. 1 in the building that housed Buddakhan on Vine Street, just south of Seventh. The restaurant will feature a more casual side of French cuisine. For anyone who never ate at Maisonette or Jean-Robert at Pigall's because of the price, this will offer entrees from $15-$29 and will also be open for lunch.
