More Plywood Updates: R+D Kitchen Shoots For July

The fromer Montana Lounge/Yu Restaurant/Wolfgang Puck Cafe location is still under construction for the pending R+D Kitchen from the Hillstone Restaurant Group (Houston's, Gulfstream, Bandera, Cafe R+D). Behind all the fencing and plywood, you'll see it's completely opened up, which we assume means it will have a contemporary, non-offensive but comfortable, vanilla vibe that goes along with most of Hillston's restaurants. Although the name is slightly different from those in Newport Beach and Dallas, R+D Kitchen will offer similar American classics like burgers, Reuben sandwich, chopped salads, meatloaf. Hiring is afoot, so expect a late July, early August opening. Hilstone doesn't like a big media push for restaurant openings, so we'll need all Montana operatives on deck for updates.
