WAUWATOSA — Cafe Hollander in Wauwatosa is reopening Friday following extensive renovations after the historic flooding that struck much of southeast Wisconsin last month.
The Tosa Village restaurant has made significant progress rebuilding from the flood damage. Management said reconstructing the kitchen required most of the work over the past seven weeks.
“We have put staff at other locations, whether it was Buckatabon across the street or some of our other Hollanders in Brookfield or Mequon, and now we get to gather them back in and start work again,” said Ileana Rivera, chief creative officer for Lowlands Group.
The restaurant’s doors will officially reopen at 4 p.m., followed by a complimentary toast at 6 p.m. on the patio and live music at 6:30 p.m. The first 50 guests on opening night will also receive door prizes.
