New Restaurant in Demshar's location
 

This was just posted by The Daily Sun:
Residents will soon see a new dining option at Spanish Springs Town Square. Maureen and John McIntyre— owners of Lighthouse Point Bar & Grille in Lake Sumer Landing— have leased what was Demshar’s in Spanish Springs and will transform it into Augustine’s 1812 House, which will serve Italian food. They have a targeted opening time of mid-November. Read more in Saturday's Daily Sun.

Hmmmm...So what happened to Demshar's being made into apartments???

Apartments would be upstairs.

Anybody on Demshar's mailing list ? They have opened a second location in Stonecrest. The overwhelming supply of digital marketing including events per the mailing list is aimed at the new location. Today there is a picture of their head chef at the new location. Per my recent observations of the lack of traffic at their Spanish Springs location I would go out on a limb and bet goodbye to the SS location when the lease is up. Any thoughts?


I predicted and posted this on July 3.

Augustine’s was the name of the original restaurant and brewery that was at that location when I first arrived in TV.

I am sure they will be successful in SS, if they are as busy as the LIGHTHOUSE is. Nice people. Good Luck!

Wish them luck

When we arrived it was Louiginos? Or something along that name. Did Augustine's have New Orleans style food or some cajun dishes? We arrived in TV too late for them.:)

No. Italian. :icon_hungry:

I knew DEMSHAR’s wasn’t going to reopen.

I hope that they are successful and that their menu is comprised mainly of authentic Italian dishes vs. Italian-American dishes...
that would really make them stand out.

With entertainment starting at the Square and performances at The Sharon beginning the timing may be right.

I get confused. Can you or anyone else on here explain the difference to someone who originally comes from the lone prairie? What is it that makes authentic Italian dishes different?

Just like pizza, stuff served here is nothing like what get in say Naples. Take a trip you’ll be amazed. Sauce here is nothing like my grandma made.

Based on our experience in Italy two things come to mind.

Mozzarella typically made that day. Sauce has more of a tomato flavor

As long as they do not bring the noise from the Lighthouse, we will give it a whirl.
