This just in from reader Steve H.: “You’ve predicted that Alma Fonda Fina will be coming to Coast Village Road in Montecito. They’re currently advertising on Craigslist for ‘an experienced Chef to assist with the opening of a brand-new restaurant,’ so maybe that’s about to become a reality.”

Alma Fonda Fina restaurant is coming to 1024 Coast Village Road near Vons, in the former home of Little Alex’s which is opening next month in Five Points Shopping Center where Fresco Cafe used to be. Work on the eatery had been proceeding at a furious pace last summer until a stop-work order was issued. Sounds like they restarted.
