Did you try calling them? (919) 550-7400. Clayton News-Star article did not mention a new name. Just a change from Restaurant to Catering, http://www.smithfieldherald.com/2013/11/01/3332452/mulberry-on-main-gets-a-facelift.html#
Walked by yesterday morning, new name on the window!!! They've done a lot of remodeling, too. They knocked out the wall between the "restaurant" and "bar area", making one HUGE room. Sort of takes away from the intimacy that I thought they had before.
Agreed, but based on the hours they were open, it didn't seem like they really were into running a restaurant. It's a lot of work to do it right, and I don't think they really wanted a 100 hour/week job. Can't say that I blame them.
They have always had a whole other business in the catering end. That was why they were only open 3 nights a week for dinner. Obviously, the catering demand was much greater and a much larger contributor to their bank balance. Think about it, they could AFFORD the overhead (rent, insurance, etc.) to only have the restaurant open for 3 nights a week. Most restaurants need to be open lunch & dinner 7 days a week to turn a profit.
