The restaurant plans to add a patio dining space, and renovations are expected to be completed in the next six months. (Comme Ca is no longer affiliated with founder David Myers, who recently said he would exit the management group that operates Comme Ca among other restaurants he opened.)

Broadway Bar, the 213 Nightlife-owned bar attached to the Orpheum Theatre downtown, has undergone a major makeover and is slated to relaunch Tuesday. Ricki Kline of Patry + Kline gave the bar, which originally opened in 2005, a face-lift with brighter tones, cream and silk shades, and brass finishes. The bathrooms, marble counters and mirrors all were also redone. 213 beverage director Eric Alperin and Broadway Bar’s Ozborne Williams created a new cocktail menu to accompany the redesign. Some of the new libations include the Orpheum, made with Maker’s Mark bourbon, lemon, honey and a dash of Peychaud’s Bitters; and the Chapman, made with Beefeater gin, muddled cucumber, lime and cane sugar. 830 S.
