Rick Manson is reopening his restaurant, which closed years ago in Santa Maria when he went to work as a chef at the Far Western Tavern in Orcutt.

After leaving the Far Western in 2013, he said he was looking forward to the future of his catering business.

Signs up at the building located off Highway 135 show the business has applied for an alcohol permit.

According to the restaurant’s website, it is “coming soon” and will serve fine American cuisine and have “funky purple napkins.”

KSBY has reached out to Manson but has not yet heard back.
