First I heard rumors… then a tip from a reader… And now finally confirmation from a spokesperson for 41 Ocean in Santa Monica make it official:  Red O, which was originally reported to have been going into the Ma’Kai space, will instead be taking over  41 Ocean on the corner of Colorado and Ocean in Santa Monica.  41 Ocean, which was the public restaurant for the private lounge in the back, launched in November of last year but never really took off.  Now open only for private events, the space will begin to be developed by Red O in the near future, bringing Rick Bayless’  signature brand of Mexican cuisine to the beach.  No word on any dates, but I’ll keep my eye on it…
