Just before relocating Sambuca Jazz Café from Deep Ellum to the former Salve! spot on McKinney Avenue, owners Kim and Holly Forsythe dumped Milk Bar on Lower Greenville. But it was quickly picked up by operator Erol Staraveci of the Alfredo's Pizza & Pasta family. He's transforming Milk Bar into Sky Bar, a Mediterranean tapas lounge with a "Dallas meets South Beach" motif dolled with palm trees, yellow stucco and a trilevel patio. Staraveci hopes his visual cues will inspire his neighbors to beautify their spots. "It's going to help the Lower Greenville area out a little bit," he says. "Maybe the city can put a little more into landscaping and street help." Staraveci might be onto something: filling potholes with palm trees... Alexander Kybett, the longtime Dallas chef who evacuated to Arizona after leaving his chef post at Urban Tapas in the Village at Colleyville, says he's landed a position at a wine bar and private dining room there called The Cave. He also says Urban Tapas has gone dark. We can't confirm this. Urban's phone beeps perpetually busy, though an SBC operator insists there's no conversation on the line...After taking over the former Riviera space, caterer George Brown, one of Food & Wine magazine's Top 10 Best New Chefs in 1997, says only minor renovations are needed to open George Restaurant by August. The menu will be modern global. "Basically this just means we can go wherever we want," he says. "The closest I can think of is maybe like a Baby Routh." George Catering reins will be slipped to chef Juan Carlos Garrido. George Restaurant general manager will be Jeff Bogart. Brown is looking for sous chefs, so howitzer him with résumés.
