As we heard late last year, long-lived Asian-fusion bastion Silks at the Mandarin Oriental is closing and getting replaced as the hotel is getting a major overhaul. Today the Scoop brings word of the closing date (May 12), and a few details about the restaurant's non-Asian replacement: Brasserie S&P. Chef Adam Mali, most recently of MarketBar and Nick's Cove, will be taking the exec role, and it's going to be a California-centric brasserie, with a bar program centered around some special gin and tonics, from bar manager Priscilla Young. More details to come. [Scoop] Update: The name derives from the location, at Sansome & Pine, and it looks like it will open shortly after Silks closes, mid-month. [Chron]
