The building that once housed The Metro will soon by the site of Javier’s, a new restaurant owned by Javier Rodriguez, who will offer a modern take on Latino food\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By Jill Nagy<\/p>\n

A new restaurant will open in a downtown
\nSaratoga Springs building that was the site of a
\nrenowned night club for many years, and more
\nrecently a combination night club\/restaurant.<\/p>\n

What was once the Metro at 17 Maple
\nAvenue will become Javier’s, a restaurant on
\nfeaturing a North American take on Latin
\nAmerican food.<\/p>\n

Restaurant owner Javier Rodriguez calls the food “nuevo Latino,” and promises a “palate more adjusted to Saratoga Springs” than the usual Mexican or other Latin restaurant. The menu will also include vegan and gluten-free selections.<\/p>\n

Two chefs will share the kitchen at Javier’s: Brian Bowden, who has cooked at several well-know Albany area restaurants, including Creo, McGuire’s and Gingerman; and Anabelle Torrentes, a Costa Rican chef who has been dividing her time between Costa Rica and the United States.<\/p>\n

Much of the focus will be on fish and seafood dishes, including seviche and a “very delicate fish dish” accompanied by a root vegetable puree, said Rodriguez. Empanadas will be on the menu as well, but with a northern interpretation of the dish.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez promises “a more refined taste,” flavors better matched with a red or white wine than with beer. Spanish and Argentine wines will be available, as well as American and European, and a full bar.<\/p>\n

The vegan and gluten-free items will be included because “it is what is happening” in the industry, Rodriguez said. Food will be “very healthy” and offer “very good flavors.”<\/p>\n

A late March or early April opening in planned. Renovations have been underway at the building, which is owned by Saratoga Historic Restorations.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez’s vision for Javier’s is that of a “very simple place,” diner-like, with creamy yellow walls and a plain floor.<\/p>\n

There will be no nightclub in the new incarnation of the building.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez worked as the Brooklyn River Caf\u00e9’s maitre d’ in New York City, and was once named maitre d’ of the year at the New York City Concierge Choice Awards.<\/p>\n

The building was last used as a restaurant, 28 Tables, that featured live bands in the courtyard in the summer. That restaurant closed in August.<\/p>\n

Operating information for Javier’s was not available at press time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
