Downtown Santa Monica is a flurry of restaurant activity right now:  Wally’s is on the way, as is a new North Italia, and Carlo’s Bake Shop.  Add to that list a new “All Day Eatery” going into a defunct jewelry shop at 331 Wilshire Blvd.  There’s not much out there yet on The Gables, just an undeveloped website and Facebook page.  It looks like they’re shooting for a Fall opening.

Update:  The Gables opens Wednesday, August 22.  Read Eater’s story  here.
