A new restaurant is coming to the Hamilton waterfront if Government planners grant the necessary approval.

The same people behind the Miles Market on Pitts Bay Road have drawn up plans for a 146-seat restaurant just a few yards away from the grocery store.

The comprehensive architect drawings by a Massachusetts firm were recently submitted to the Department of Planning. They call for 84-seats indoors and 62-seats outdoors on a ground level porch. The space that will house the restaurant is currently vacant, sandwiched between the market and brand new condominiums slated for completion in December.

The new eatery will be called Harry's Restaurant and will be in business for lunch and dinner.

Foot traffic should be no problem with so many office buildings in the immediate vicinity — Endurance, Partner Re, Axis, Montpelier Re, Tokyo Millennium and Zurich are all within ear shot of where the new restaurant is to be located.

However, there are already a lot of choices for business diners on Pitts Bay Road — Fairmont Hamilton Princess, Waterloo House and Primavera Ristorante are just a few.

A man who works in the area said he was told the new place will be a steakhouse and wine bar.

According to the planning application, the restaurant will serve from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. and will be staffed by ten people at one time. There is also a request for 30 additional parking spaces — 15 for cars, 15 for cycles.
