Dan Gross: Cabaret coming to Morris House
CABARET IS the name of the restaurant that Neil Stein and partners are hoping to bring to the Morris House Hotel (225 S. 8th). Stein is partnered up with Lindsay Ratkovich, a real-estate developer and daughter of Los Angeles real-estate titan Wayne Ratkovich, and Morris House owners Michael DiPaolo and Gene LeFevre. As the name suggests, says Lindsay Ratkovich, Cabaret will be "a space designed to entertain," and the food will be "American-Parisian bistro cuisine." Look for red decor and a piano bar as part of the restaurant. * The Tap Room will open Thursday night at Four Points by Sheraton, formerly the Doubletree Club (Boulevard & Grant). It's open from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily. Joseph Pergine is looking to showcase local brews and lagers from "across the pond."
