"New Waterloo is opening Hai Si, an izakaya with Japanese and Spanish cuisine leanings led by Otoko executive chef Yoshi Okai; it will be located at 308 East Hopkins and is slated to open in the winter of 2025 with a sushi bar, hot and cold dishes, a full bar, and wine and sake, and the team previewed dishes at the Aspen Food and Wine Festival in June." - Nadia Chaudhury
