The other day I noticed an interesting sign recently installed on the upstairs space in The Gallery at 1315 3rd Street Promenade where Subway used to reside.  Still covered with plastic, the sign resembles a license plate and bears an inscrutable jumble of consonants that appear to say “starfish”.  It also bears a very famous name, Voltaggio.  After much online searching, I was able to uncover only one single clue:  On page 35 of the Downtown Santa Monica Annual Report (you’re welcome for searching this document, it’s written on the very last page.), you’ll see this single sentence, “Two new and exciting chef-driven concepts will follow, James Beard Award winner Dave Beran’s Dialogue and STRFSH by the Voltaggio Brothers.”  And that’s as much as I can find…

Update:  Eater has more details here.  

Further Update:  Voltaggio STRFSH is now open.
