New Gourmet Chef, Casual Dining Coming to the Pruneyard

Hobee's is out because of high rents at the Pruneyard, but yesterday gourmet chef Jeffrey Stout, of Alexander's Steakhouse, signed a lease for a 6,200-square-foot restaurant to be called Orchard City Kitchen, according to Inside Scoop, the restaurant guide. 

Alexander's is a one Michelin star restaurant, but lost the star when it lost Stout, the website says. 

Stout plans a spring opening for a restaurant that he says will be a "small casual restaurant specializing in shareable plates." It will have indoor and outdoor dining.
