• Texas-based seafood restaurant Eddie V’s snatched up the location of the former Chart House in Green Dragon Colony at 1270 Prospect St. The restaurant signed a 10-year, $4,747,215 lease for the 9,415-square-foot property. Eddie V’s, which specializes in steaks and seafood inspired by seafood restaurants of New Orleans, Boston and San Francisco, has locations in Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston. Sister restaurants include Wildfish Seafood Grille and Roaring Fork. • La Jollans will soon have another reason for a night out on the town. Seeing the need for a wine bar in the Village, Marshall and Linda Ravden decided to fill the hole by opening up Finch’s Wine Bar and Bistro with their son, Nick, his wife, Tiana and Nick’s business partner, Martin Hall. Set to open somewhere between mid-February and March 1 in the location formerly occupied by Café Lavande at 7644 Girard Ave., the restaurant will eventually aim to have a full bar with beer, wine and liquor. • After jumping through a multitude of bureaucratic hoops, Sheryll Jackman is nearing the opening of her fabulous new Seaside Home store in La Jolla. Formerly on Girard Avenue, the new home furnishings showroom has moved into its new location at 1055 Wall St. The store will triple the combined size of both its Girard Avenue location and Rancho Santa Fe store, which closed a few months ago, for a total area of 32,457 square feet. The Jackman story is one of success and driving entrepreneurialism. Sheryll and her husband, Harry, started out in El Cajon in the early 1970s with a company called Jackman Wheels, which Jackman describes as “a one-man band, manufacturing white wheels that went on Jeeps and off-road vehicles and buggies.” Seaside Home began as Island Provenance in Coronado in 1996 with Jackman and her oldest daughter, Caylee. The endeavor was an enhancement of the family’s home-building business, the Jackman Group, which was founded in 1983. Around 2003, the family decided to carry primarily Baker Furniture’s Milling Road collection, a very successful line of British and French Colonial-inspired antique reproduction case goods and upholstery. The original La Jolla store was opened when Baker asked Jackman to expand her presence in the San Diego market as their exclusive representative. When the second floor is completed at the new location, there will be a wine and coffee bar, an outdoor patio and a lounge area for entertaining, which Jackman plans to make available for catered parties.
