Cafe Pontotoc, so named because it’s near the corner of Pontotoc and S. Main, will open in mid- to late-June, according to owner Milton Lamb.
Lamb says the restaurant will feature a great wine list and beer from local brewers. While the menu is still being worked out, Lamb says it will include a selection of small plates.
Cafe Pontotoc will be in the old Corked Carrot space at 314 S. Main. Lamb says that the space is much the same, though he’s brought in some new tables and redid the back bar.
Lamb says the restaurant will initially be open Tuesday to Saturday, starting at 4 p.m., and will eventually expand to 7 days a week. He’s also considering having a Sunday brunch.
Lamb calls Cafe Pontotoc a “nice neighborhood hangout.” It will be a place, he says, “to sit down and have a conversation.”
