The Virginia Highlands may miss Noche but probably not for long. The space at the corner of N. Highland and Virginia has been taken over by Tom Tom. Announcing a return, chef Tom Catherall has revamped the cozy space and changed up the menu adding a bit of Spanish, a bit American, a bit Southern, and a bit Mexican.Dishes will reflect the rest of the neighborhood with eats between $4-$14 per plate. There will be weekly specials for two as well for around $20.
Definitely be on the look out for Catherall’s signature whole sizzling catfish. It’s a double edged sword for first dates. The presentation is jaw dropping but it may be a little hard to manage for first impressions.
