Sushi Restaurant to Open in Downtown Kirkwood

Construction is ongoing at a new restaurant in downtown Kirkwood: Sushi Bistro. The best estimate so far for an opening date is another month or two, according to city officials.

Patch has not been able to reach the owners of the new restaurant yet, but we'll keep trying.

Kirkwood zoning administrator Ryan Spencer said Sushi Bistro is replacing Blue Water Grill at 343 S. Kirkwood Road. Blue Water was a staple in the community, open for about 20 years, before it closed in late 2008.

Spencer said Sushi Bistro is about 75 percent complete in its renovations on the property and about a month or two away from opening.
