New riverfront restaurant, Daisy's, opening soon near Brown's Island
Richmond will soon have a riverfront restaurant, neatly positioned between Brown's Island and the new amphitheater.
Why it matters: The closest restaurant to both popular concert destinations is currently almost a mile walk, uphill.
And until now, the only Richmond restaurant north of the James with a view of the river has been roughly three miles downstream at Rockett's Landing.
Driving the news: Daisy's at Tredegar is in the works inside The Foundry at Historic Tredegar event space, as first reported by BizSense.
The restaurant is from chef Matt Kirwan, who previously worked as executive chef at The Roosevelt and Grisette, and Rawleigh Easley, co-owner of Neighbor restaurant on Northside.
Daisy's will be an all-day cafe open daily, serving up coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the morning, then salads, burgers, sandwiches and drinks in the afternoon and evening.
Zoom in: The restaurant is taking over the portion of the Tredegar event space that until last year was a visitor's center for the National Park Service.
The building is owned by NewMarket Corp., the Richmond-based chemical company that also owns the land where Allianz Amphitheater opened last month.
