Local laid-back neighborhood spot Ingo’s Tasty Diner, at 1213 Wilshire in Santa Monica, has been closed for years.  What was expected to be a quick remodel started… and then completely stopped.  Over a year ago, a new spate of construction prompted me to write an update.  Not much happened after that and many believed that the project was dead.  Recently however, there is renewed activity.  As you may recall, Ingo’s has taken over the old Vienna Bakery space next door. Window paper has gone up with images of New York, LA, and even Julia Child, and there is a paper in one of the windows with the name Diner Antonette.  LGO Hospitality Group (the parent company for Ingo’s, The Misfit, Luggage Room Pizza, and others) is still behind the project, and the website promises a return of Ingo’s Tasty Diner.  Why the delay?  I’m told that parts of the building are historic and complicated the permit process.  But now construction is fast and furious (although they appear to have a way to go) and I’m also told they are hoping to be open by “The Holidays”.
