According to staff at Highwater, Richmond restaurateur David Bess (of Lucky Buddha, Cha Cha’s, and most recently Verbena) will be taking a stake in the establishment and turning the restaurant into a gourmet burger joint. Highwater, located within Toad’s Place, currently offers southern influenced casual fare and a few offbeat bar food items like buffalo fries and Lima bean hummus. Expect a completely new menu.
The restaurant will be closing within a couple weeks for the revamps to take place. There will be a new name for the project as well, tbd.
