Eater got a first peek at Johnny Rivera's transformation of Hillcrest's iconic Brians' American Eatery into his Great Maple concept and we hear that the restaurant's soft opening is Wednesday night. We got a look at the menu, and comfort food still seems to be the name of the game. Going forward, they'll offer lunch and dinner; breakfast service should start in two weeks. The daytime and evening menus are pretty similar — salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta and homemade pies. Dinner tacks on a few entrees: venison chili, a grilled veggie plate, filet mignon, a rack of lamb and Shepherd's pie, and an organic roasted chicken. [EaterWire]
