Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Sapporo will not be swimming with the fishes, thanks to Tavistock Restaurants, a boutique restaurant company based in Emeryville, California.
Tavistock purchased the bankrupt Scottsdale sushi spot on December 22, promising "uninterrupted service," according to a press release last week.
Other restaurants in Tavistock's portfolio include ZED451, Napa Valley Grille, Alcatraz Brewing Company, California Cafe, Cafe del Rey, and another new acquisition, Freebirds World Burrito. Beyond Scottsdale, the company has operations in Chicago, L.A., Texas, Oklahoma, and San Francisco.

Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism.
