Spring Cafe at Como Park Pavilion has been sold | Eater Twin Cities

"Inside the Como Pavilion, I found Spring Cafe, which Matty O’Reilly and then-chef JD Fratzke opened in the midst of last April’s historic spring blizzard; Fratzke parted ways with the restaurant in November of last year. Although the Pavilion’s previous restaurant incarnations operated year-round, Spring Cafe had closed for the winter this year. O’Reilly said he was happy to sell the restaurant while business was going well, noting that too many businesses don’t get to pick the terms of their exit, and the operation has now been sold to Lancer Hospitality, a national corporate catering company that also runs the cafeterias at Como Zoo and the Minnesota Zoo. The new incarnation of Spring Cafe is slated to reopen in the spring." - Joy Summers
