Las Ramblas to move; Sunset Grille to open
Dilworth tapas restaurant Las Ramblas is slated to close and the Sunset Grille to open in that spot about March 1. The new place, sibling to Las Ramblas and Bonterra, will be a neighborhood grill concept, open for lunch and dinner daily, plus weekend brunch, with a kids' menu. Expect pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and daily specials, including themed nightly specials (Italian, Cajun, etc.), and more televisions for those wanting to watch sports, along with an "enhanced" patio (pet friendly!) at the 2400 Park Road location.
Marketing director Rachelle Pacholski attributed the move to lease arrangements and said the ownership is seeking a "smaller, more urban location" for the Las Ramblas concept. Plans call for the Sunset Grille to serve Las Ramblas's most popular selections each Monday night until a new site is found for the tapas place.
