Baker & Banker Unveils Awning, Snazzy Logo, More!

Now that Quince is more or less in full swing down in Jackson Square, it's time to check in on the other crucial development in that storyline: Baker & Banker's takeover of the old Quince space on Octavia. As you'll recall, Jeff Banker (of Home fame) and his wife Lori Baker are opening a new American, "welcoming neighborhood restaurant" there, and lo and behold, it's coming along quite nicely. Notable designer Michael Brennan has spruced up the cozy interior with some dark leather banquettes and a dark wood bar, among other changes that should excite the neighborhood. For what it's worth (these things are always subject to change, obviously), the website has the opening date slated for the first day of December.
