Plywood Report: Sushi Mambo, Mignon, Coral Tree Cafe, Pas Updates

The criteria? One who is agile in the sushi, oysters and South American fare department. Seriously. All that plus the 5,000-square foot space which will be located above Barbarella Bar with an outdoor patio and Miami-esque design. " "Sexy" and bright colors, outdoor bungalows and a very large outdoor elliptical bar. [PLYWOOD]

Downtown: Food GPS brings word that Bacaro LA owners Santos Uy and Daniel Kronfli will open another wine bar near Cole's later this year called Mignon. Appropriately titled since "mignon" means small/cute in French, the space will encompass a mere 677-square feet with an island bar and surrounding barstools. And following with the French theme, Mignon will serve “off the beaten path” French wines plus cheese, charcuterie and small bites. [Food GPS]
