King Street Trio Uptown | Opens Early November

Post #333 01-03-2010 09:06 AM Spokes Senior Moderator	King Street Trio Uptown 40 King Street South, Waterloo King Street Trio is going back to King Street in Uptown Waterloo! We are thrilled to announce that after our lease expires at 65 University Ave in Waterloo on February 28, 2010, we will be moving to 40 King Street South in Uptown Waterloo. Our new restaurant will be ready for the Spring of 2010 and will be a smaller more intimate restaurant with the superior food, service and atmosphere you have come to expect. Look for more information in the coming weeks, but suffice to say we can't wait to show off our new home in the Spring! Stay tuned.... 40 King St. South is on the East side of King st. just to the left of the train tracks. #40 is where the Paper Tree used to be. The unit right beside used to be the Alpine Cafe, it's closed up too. I wonder if they'll incorporate 38 King as well. 40 alone seems a bit small. It'd be nice for them to take 38 and 40 together and join them and redo the facade. That'd look great!

After serious plumbing issues in our University location have interfered with our Christmas season and compromised our guests enjoyment and with a lease expiry scheduled at the end of February, we have decided to close our University Avenue location effective immediately. We expect our new location to be open in April at 40 King Street South, in Uptown Waterloo across from the new Civic Square. From: http://www.kingstreettrio.com/

Post #2118 02-17-2010 10:54 PM uptownfoodcritic Town Member Joined Jan 2010 114 posts	I was chatting with the workers there the other day. The design team was out at King Crab Oyster Bar on Victoria a couple of weeks back doing some research for the kitchen design. Things are moving along but I will be surprised if they are open by April. Mid-May to early June is my best guess. I'll see if I can sneak some pictures in next time.

Post #16056 10-08-2010 03:12 PM snowrose Hamlet Member Lincoln Heights Joined Oct 2010 13 posts	The other day their website said they were opening on November 1st - but today I got their newsletter and it said King Street Trio Uptown Development continues… Our development continues at 40 King Street South in Uptown. The build out is fully under way. Expect us open in early November! I believe all the hurdles are cleared and I have hired on some fantastic management and staff to open with only the highest quality food and service. I will update you later in the month on timing of the opening and I truly thank you for your patience. It will be worth the wait….. Even more interesting, I went to their website just after that and the inset announcement I saw the other day appeared to have been hacked.

Post #18144 11-05-2010 12:59 AM snowrose Hamlet Member Lincoln Heights Joined Oct 2010 13 posts	sigh They've updated their website again and now say they'll be opening "Late 2010". Um, KSTfolks, it's already late 2010! I don't see how they can survive with this constantly putting off their opening. I'm sure people have lost interest, they'll be losing a lot of clientele. Has anyone looked into the new place recently? What's the problem over there? They've been dragging things out since April.
