The corporation is owned by Jose Barreiro of Sayreville. Barreiro co-founded the successful Ria Bar Restaurant and Bar in South River in 1987. Check out the many awards and favorable reviews at the Ria Bar's news and events page.
UPDATE (23 July 2012): Mediterranean Chateau is tentatively set to open in mid-August or early September.
UPDATE (1 August 2012): I drove by yesterday and saw a stucco contractor working on the facade of the place. Definitely moving along but it looks like a few more weeks to go.
UPDATE (7 August 2012): Photo - Still under construction but nearly done.
UPDATE (24 November 2012) The restaurant finally opened on 16 November. There is a Facebook page but no webpage that I can find. See my recent article for link.
I can't wiat till the restaurant opens. I met Jose and family when i went to the Ria Mar and they make you feel right at home. I'm confident they will do the same here and there food and sangria is the best.

The new owners have put up Mediterranean Chateau signage at the old Charlie Brown's and are estimating an opening in mid-August or early September. They acquired a liquor license a couple of months ago. I look forward to the opening.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the Grand Opening?
ReplyDeleteI drove by on Saturday morning and they still aren't open. Quite a few of what looked like contractors' pickup trucks in the lot. Could be endless difficulties with meeting the needs of borough inspectors. Papa Ganache finally opened on Main Street, so hope springs eternal for Med Chateau.
