Chew on This

New bistro

Mia's chef Thierry Goulard has opened 61 Bistro Grill, 2004 Ashley River Road, West Ashley. The former Nathan's will continue to serve the same deli-style breakfast and lunch seven days a week, but will transform into a French-influenced casual eatery in the evenings. Dinner hours are 5-9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with early-bird specials available 5-6:30 p.m. A wine and beer license is pending. Guests are invited to bring their own or enjoy a complimentary glass of beer or wine from Goulard.
