Eater Boston is reporting (via mypublicnotices.com) that Studio Manta is planning to open in Central Square, with the spot also hoping to change its proposed location from Brookline Street to Mass. Ave. It appears that the new place would have a seating capacity of 82, with a dining area and a bar upstairs and a kitchen downstairs, and it is seeking a license that would allow for live music, DJs, and dancing. EB mentions that there may be a connection between Studio Manta and the restaurant Shalimar of India, which is also located on Mass. Ave.
At this point in time, there is no word on exactly when Studio Manta might be opening.
[January 26, 2015 update: According to a new License Commission Decision Making Hearing page within the City of Cambridge website, a hearing is scheduled to take place this Thursday (January 29) on Studio Manta's plans to open on Mass. Ave.]
The address for this proposed restaurant, bar, and club in Central Square is: Studio Manta, 577 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139.
