    Za Restaurant will be adding an additional 1,200 square feet and 40 seats when renovations are completed on an adjacent retail space at their present location in Pennington, NJ. Currently the restaurant seats 38 in its dining room and 48 on the wisteria garden patio in fair weather.

    The popular non-licensed BYO has been operating at its current venue since July of 2006. Chef and owner Mark Valenza, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, says both lunch/ brunch and dinner sales have increased each year since opening. So far this year, sales are 25 – 35% higher than same month sales in 2009.

    According to Chef Valenza renovations to the new space are scheduled to be completed in early May of this year. The restaurant will continue to serve customers during the renovation in its current configuration.

    “Recently, we’ve been turning away customers on Friday and Saturday evenings and occasionally during our lunch/brunch seating since closing the outdoor garden for the season,” says Chef Valenza. “We want to accommodate those customers and this expansion will allow us to do that.”

    The expansion and renovation will include several improvements to the venue including a vestibule entrance, dedicated waiting area, a room for private parties, chef’s table dining, improved air conditioning and more spacious seating. The lease for the additional space gives the restaurant a new 12 year term.

    Reservations are available online or by phone. As always Za Restaurant is B.Y.O.B. Za Restaurant, 147 West Delaware Avenue, Pennington, NJ 08534, 609-737-4400. www.ZaRestaurants.com
