DineAmic Group Takes Over Shuttered Dragonfly Mandarin on Restaurant Row

First the sad news, Dragonfly Mandarin Restaurant has closed after 13 years. The good news? DineAmic Group (Siena Tavern, Public House) has a deal in place to open a new concept in its place.

Crain's reports that the group has been looking for a spot in famed "Restaurant Row" for awhile now. Their plan is to plug in a "polished casual restaurant and bar" in a strip of restaurants that skews more high-end. Currently, Lone Wolf and Haymarket are among the few casual spots among the chef-driven establishments on Randolph.

The unnamed project is due to open in the fall. Meanwhile, Crain's also reports that DineAmic is gearing up to open a steakhouse in Chicago. Their Miami expansion of Siena Tavern is coming soon as well.
