Mediterranean Restaurant Opening In New Haven

From Yale University: Yale University Properties is hosting a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony today, Monday, April 8 at 11:30am at 228 College Street to celebrate South Bay’s opening at The Shops at Yale in downtown New Haven.

This is South Bay’s first location and ninth restaurant owned by Connecticut’s JS Restaurant Group. There are four owners of South Bay Restaurant, all Connecticut residents, Kleber Siguenza, Nube Siguenza, Vicente Siguenza (siblings) and their cousin, Wilson Siguenza. JS Restaurant Group opened their first restaurant in 2004.

South Bay is a full-service restaurant and bar, offering unique and modern Mediterranean cuisine with influences from around the globe.

Owner, Vicente Siguenza said “We love New Haven. It is a culturally and culinarily diverse city. Our sister location, Harvest Wine Bar and Restaurant on Chapel Street, has become a popular destination due to its location, menu and unique atmosphere. The success of Harvest made our decision to expand in downtown New Haven an easy one for us. We are excited to open South Bay in this great city.”

South Bay is open Sunday, 11:00am-9:30pm, Monday-Thursday, 11:30am-10:00pm and Friday & Saturday, 11:30am-11:00pm. Parking is available at The Shops at Yale Chapel Street Historic District Parking Lots at 255 Crown Street, directly behind South Bay and 161 York Street, behind Harvest Wine Bar & Restaurant.

“We are delighted to expand our relationship with the Siguenza family as they continue to broaden the vibrant New Haven culinary scene,” said Lauren Zucker, Yale University Associate Vice President for New Haven Affairs and University Properties. “Yale University’s community investment program supports independently-owned businesses, bringing jobs to New Haven residents and expanding the city’s tax base.”
