Roux restaurant, after reopening in increments over the winter, resumes service on Sundays beginning Memorial Day weekend, the owners announced this week.

Chef Robert Villanueva’s menu, dominated by seafood, retains the original chef’s emphasis on New Orleans style entrees.

The restaurant is now open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday and hopes to open a sixth, with a “Fat Tuesday” promotion by July 4, said Michael Byrne, who owns the restaurant with his wife Cindy.

Differencesbetween the owners and the original chef, Norm Theard, in February led to the closure of the restaurant that received top-ratings from fans after barely six months of operation.

“We at Roux thank you all for your support over these last few months and look forward to seeing you in the future,” Mr. Byrne said.
