New Salt Lake City bistro One0Eight will open in the former Sea Salt building

After nine months of sitting vacant, the building on the northeast corner of 1300 South and 1700 East in Salt Lake City is showing signs of new life, including a new sign above the door that reads: One0Eight.

While the number 108 has long been considered a sacred number in Hinduism and yoga, this won’t be a place to practice downward dog or plank, said James Dumas, the former executive chef at Park City’s High West Distillery. “But it’s been a good cover during remodeling."

Dumas, along with his wife, Kris Dumas, who helped launch Silver Star Cafe, told The Salt Lake Tribune they will be opening a casual bistro in the spot that was previously the troubled Sea Salt restaurant.
