Also stumbling into the Chapter 11 pit is Newport's Seafood & Steaks, the restaurant that has been lodged in West End's pre-prohibition Dallas Brewery & Bottling Works carcass for more than two decades. Owned by Steven Laham for the last eight years, Newport's struggled with $65,000 in assets against some $700,000 in liabilities. The filing shows the restaurant's revenue dipped some 3 percent in 2003, generating $1.56 million in 2003 compared with its 2002 take of $1.61 million. "Newport's is re-organizing under new investors," Laham said in an e-mail. "...We will now be able to continue operations as an independent restaurant, as we have for the last 21 years." According to court records, the restaurant has been purchased by a group headed by Laham's brother George. Salvador Soto will continue as executive chef, while Steven Laham will remain as general manager...The ornate upper Greenville Avenue structure that housed Royal Tokyo for nearly 30 years before it was damaged by fire in 2001 has been taken over by Sumo Steak & Sushi, which slipped into the building from a location just down the street. Distinguishing feature: The sushi bar is now automated, with sushi on plastic dishes domed in clear plastic on a moving conveyor belt...Meanwhile, Sumo's former neighbor, Wahoo Grill and Cantina, appears to be extinct. It's dark. The phone is disconnected. Its liquor taxes are delinquent. It opened in late 2002 in the former El Arroyo space.
