There's been some talk lately of what will become of David Fhima's LoTo restaurant, overlooking Mears Park in the Galtier building.  There were rumors floating about a possible shake up there.  Well I confirmed this morning that in fact, the restaurant will be undergoing a change.  Fhima's already operates two other Zahtar's in the twin cities, and now LoTo will be the third.  Expect this change to take place in April.

I was told that the deli, bakery, and coffee shop will stay (which is weird, since the coffee shop has been closed since about 6 months after opening).

The location of Loto (Zahtar) is pretty prime in my book, you are elevated off the street, with a very nice view of Mears Park.  I think one thing they need to figure out is better signage outside of the building. It's easy to miss the fact there's a restaurant in there.  I'm hoping with this incarnation, the service will be a little more timely, as that's really been bad in the past at LoTo.
