With all of the construction going on around Oxford, I thought it was about time to recap some of the restaurants we can look forward to in the coming months.
Rowdy Rebs (rowdyrebs.com), a bar featuring seafood, wings and chicken tenders, is scheduled to open on Double Decker weekend at 122 Courthouse Square next to Ajax Diner.
Saint Leo Restaurant (eatsaintleo.com), the much-anticipated Italian restaurant, is slated to open soon at 1101 Jackson Avenue East.
