Jamie's Restaurant
Jamie's Restaurant was an upscale restaurant in the Seville Square Historic District that specialized in French cuisine. It was located at 424 East Zaragoza Street, in an 1879 cottage with a maximum seating capacity of 55. Originally the Seville Sweetshop, it became a full-service restaurant and was renamed for owner Jamie Kirkland in 1981. Among the original staff were headwaiter Gary Serafin and busboy Russell Scarritt, both of whom would eventually become owners. Under chef Libbey Dasher and assistant Missy Hy, the restaurant garnered numerous awards. In 2007 their famous lemon icebox pie was featured on the cover of Bon Appétit magazine.[1]
It changed ownership several times: first to Ray and Nell Redish, then to Dasher and Serafin, and finally to Russell Scarritt and his wife Linda, who purchased the restaurant from Serafin in December 1999.[2] The Scarritts decided to close the restaurant in May 2008, citing disruption from continuous road construction in the historic district.[3]
