Ox & Son To Take Over Cafe Montana In SM…

You may have been wondering what was going on over at neighborhood fave Cafe Montana at 1534 Montana Ave. in Santa Monica. Recently, they closed down.  Then a sign went up in the window that announced they were remodeling and promising to reopen soon.  That sign quickly disappeared.  Then came the black plastic covering the windows…  According to a source, Cafe Montana will not be reopening, ending a 20 year long run.  The space is being developed for a new venture, tentatively named Ox & Son by businessman, restaurateur, and owner of Westside Rentals Mark Verge, who recently opened Art’s Table in Cafe Montana’s sister restaurant, the now-defunct Babalu.  No details on an opening date or menu, but I’m told the concept will be “high-end”.
