Not-So-Hopelessly Delayed

Dixie Still Aiming for Late May

Outside of the Mission, where new openings will be happening at a steady clip in the coming weeks and months, there’s another long-awaited opening on deck for the end of the month in a different part of town: Dixie. The restaurant from former Murray Circle chef Joseph Humphrey in the former Pres a Vi space in the Presidio is finally coming together after some delays, and the Scoop talks to designer Michael Brennan and Humphrey about the space and what they’re doing to change the feel of it — basically they’re closing off the kitchen, adding recycled wood, and reconfiguring the dining room to feel more organic. Also, in addition to the Southern-inspired a la carte menu, Humphrey plans on doing a tasting menu with one course that diners will have to come into the large, shiny new kitchen to enjoy. They’re still saying late May, so, fingers crossed. [Scoop, Earlier, Earlier still]
