A musical party welcomes the new Cetrella

Cetrella restaurant in Half Moon Bay has a new look and a new feel, and Coastsiders can come take a look Thursday, Jan. 24.

After a major overhaul, which Cetrella music director Michael O'Neill characterized as "a complete gutting," Cetrella is back with a grand opening that will present noted jazz singer Kim Nalley and a drive to help local nonprofits.

Gone is the bistro feel of its inception, replaced by coastal accents, said advertising and marketing manager Jennifer Kyriakakis.

"We're getting away from the bistro and café feel and toward a more elegant dining feel," she said.

The changes will be lauded Thursday, Jan. 24, with a party from 6 to 8 p.m. with champagne, wine and appetizers.
