The Polynesian bar and restaurant planned for Walker's Point will have a menu designed by sister restaurant Black Sheep's chef and serve rum flights at the mezzanine Rhum Bar, the owners say.

Michael Sorge and Wesley Shaver, who own Black Sheep wine bar and restaurant in Walker's Point, released details Monday about the Love Shack, 106 W. Seeboth St. That's in the Point on the River building, in space previously occupied by Wine Maniacs on the River. Sorge and Shaver's partner in the project is Gary LaCourt, CEO of jewelry company Forever Companies.

The Journal Sentinel first reported the plans last week.

Shaver, the managing partner, said in the written statement that the setting'sviews of the water were well-suited to the Polynesian theme. The building is at the confluence of the Milwaukee and Menomonee rivers.

The restaurant will serve dishes by chef Adam Pawlak such asbraised pork in a steamed bun; seared scallop and crisped Spam with mango and radish salad; vegetable and tuna poke bowls; and melon salad with roasted red pepper andcitrus vinaigrette. Prices for the plates are expected to be $15 or less, Shaver said.

Drinks will be rum-based and made with fresh fruit juices, and the upstairs Rhum Bar will stock rare rums.

The Love Shack will have a second-floor deck off the Rhum Bar in addition to patio seating off the first floor. The patio will have lounge furniturein additions to tables, and will have fire tables and palm trees.

Itwill be open daily; the opening is expected in late May. Find the Love Shack online on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
