Worth noting

Owners of The Bercy say the splashy French restaurant will return in 2021; for now, it’s booking private events. And more is on the way. Suburban Square, the shopping mecca off Montgomery Avenue, will see a vast indoor-outdoor restaurant called Lola’s Garden, the region’s third location of the Chinese restaurant DanDan, and another Shake Shack — all by spring.
