"The 1923-founded, now long-vacant SF restaurant Julius’ Castle can move forward after a judge threw out a legal challenge to the business. A group of neighbors concerned about noise and traffic launched the complaint after current owner Paul Scott received Planning Commission approval in 2017 to reopen the business, which he bought in 2012. It’s clearly been a long road, but “we’re very happy to have this chapter of the saga behind us,” Scott tells Eater SF. “Now we can finally get on selecting an operator and doing the final renovations to restore the Castle to its former glory.”" - Caleb Pershan
