Carmine's coming downtown

mims.jpgJohn Mims, who has Carmine's Creole Cafe in Bryn Mawr (after two previous incarnations in Havertown and Narberth), reports that he'll make settlement tomorrow (1/25) on the three-level building at 114 S. 12th St. that most recently housed the private club space known as TPDS and long ago housed Odeon.

Mims has not come up with a name, but he says the concept will be Cajun-Creole; he'll do tapas in the lounge areas. His anticipated opening is April. Carmine's will stay open under chef Chris VanNes.

Chris:

Great. Maybe he can actually get fresh ingredients and actually prepare something that vaguely resembles Creole, rather than the overcooked, underflavored pap he was serving in Narberth.
