WTF Is With The Orbit Room?

So what is this Orbit Room, located at 2959 N. California Avenue, which I pass every day on the California bus, and whose windows have been covered in signs that say "Coming Soon" for months on end? A google search for "Orbit Room" turned up a pretty non-committal Metromix blurb on the culprit, as well as a web-site for what looks like a pretty lame music venue in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Metromix blurb, I must say, was a little curious. I'm not exactly sure what to make of the story of the owners meeting at Neo (or the fact that they used to work there), but the real chin-scratcher is Metromix's assertion that the "bar food" is somehow "above average" at a place that has never served a single dish to anyone!

Sounds a little...stupid. Thank heavens I can get "above-average bar food" (translation: $12 small plates) along with a signature cocktail that will inevitably contain Pear-flavored vodka. I just hope it surprises us and ends up being a somewhat normal neighborhood hang-out.
