Construction is under way on a large, ambitious new Latin American restaurant on East Skyline Drive.
Sur Real will be where Soleil once was and will feature the cuisine of Brazil, Argentina and Cuba, with entrees ranging in price from $16 to $32.
The 6,800-square-foot restaurant, 3001 E. Skyline Drive, will include private dining cabanas.
"The goal is to be open Nov. 1," said Matt McKinnon, vice president of operations for Premier Restaurant Group, which owns Shlomo and Vito's New York Delicatessan and Sam Hughes Place Championship Dining. "It's going to be colorful and sexy."
"It's going to have a feel of Rio," continued Dean Greenberg, managing partner of Premier Restaurant Group.
"When people have a choice to go out to dinner, they go out to enjoy themselves. I want them to go there and enjoy themselves as if you were in South Beach, Argentina or Brazil."
Sur Real also will feature a taqueria bar that will be open for late-night dining.
