We’ve been talking up the new Phoenix Hotel restaurant and bar for a while now, from the husband-and-wife team behind Wish, Sean and Isabel Manchester. But this week we got word that a name for the “edgy gastro-lounge” with a rock-and-roll theme had been settled upon: Chambers Eat + Drink. As Isabel tells us, “I’m fairly certain we will just go by ‘Chambers.’” And just as we were awaiting an email back with some design renderings, the Scoop snags them first. Alas, here they are, courtesy of Mister Important Design (who also did Gitane). Ms. Manchester tells Grub Street that chef Trever Ogden (formerly of Mission Beach Café) is testing out some “superb” food, and “for now we are calling it innovative California Cuisine.” More on the menu as we learn it. And contrary to earlier reports about a mid-April opening, they’re now aiming for mid-May.
