The Baltic Square Pub in Point Richmond has had some rocky going — It has closed twice in the last five years or so and re-opened only once. Fortunately, an astute Chowhound noted that some new owners have taken it over and plan to revive it once again as a German restaurant later this month. Details are still scarce, but our trusty ‘hound did get a copy of the new menu, which we’ve re-printed below. Having undertaken the search for a decent meal in Point Richmond in the past, we can say the Baltic will be a welcome addition to the relatively scarce dining scene there. You can only visit Hotel Mac so many times before you just want to give up and go heat up some tater tots.
