Restaurant Oolong on Commercial Street closed its doors after one last dinner on New Year's Eve, but -- this being Portland, after all -- a new establishment has already opened in the same space.

Portland's Restaurant and Bar, a steak, seafood and chops place four months in the making, opened in January. The owner is Paul Russell, the same restaurateur who was behind Oolong and its Asian fare. The executive chef is Joseph Boudreau, formerly of Mims.  To check out their menu, www.topchops.com.
