Regi's reopens with pizazz

regis logoRegi's American Bistro will be open on the Fourth of July, starting at 9 a.m. for brunch, as it celebrates its comeback after a devastating electrical fire three months ago.

The popular Federal Hill restaurant welcomed back diners this past weekend to a spruced-up space and a new chef in the kitchen.

In an e-mail, owner Alan Morstein said that the restaurant will continue to serve many of its classic dishes "as well as some exciting new additions."

The new executive chef is Audiel Vera, who has worked with chefs Cindy Wolf, Jesse Sandlin, and Pat Morrow, Alan said.

Regi's is currently serving a light-fare menu. A full menu will be introduced July 12.
