Jonathan's American Grille closes

American? ... Italian? ... American? ... American? ... Italian?

Here comes another restaurant change in the Jenkintown train station.

After three years, Jonathan's American Grille went el foldo over the weekend. Owners are retooling it into Pomodoro.

The space came into prominence as a restaurant in 1986 as Greenwood Grille. When that went cold three years later, it became Stazi Milano. Despite the bizarre interior, it rolled though the 1990s. By 2003, it was back to American under the name Station Grill. That lasted two years.

So now the owners are trying Italian. No matter that midpriced Italian food is everywhere in Eastern Montco, including the months-old Primo Bacio in the Towers at Wyncote down the road. And no matter that "Pomodoro" is one of the most hackneyed Italian restaurant names in existence.
