New riverfront restaurant, Daisy's, opening soon near Brown's Island

• And until now, the only Richmond restaurant north of the James with a view of the river has been roughly three miles downstream at Rockett's Landing.

Driving the news: Daisy's at Tredegar is in the works inside The Foundry at Historic Tredegar event space, as first reported by BizSense.

• The restaurant is from chef Matt Kirwan, who previously worked as executive chef at The Roosevelt and Grisette, and Rawleigh Easley, co-owner of Neighbor restaurant on Northside.
• Daisy's will be an all-day cafe open daily, serving up coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the morning, then salads, burgers, sandwiches and drinks in the afternoon and evening.

Zoom in: The restaurant is taking over the portion of the Tredegar event space that until last year was a visitor's center for the National Park Service.

• The building is owned by NewMarket Corp., the Richmond-based chemical company that also owns the land where Allianz Amphitheater opened last month.

• Also nearby: CoStar's under-construction, 26-story office tower, which is slated to open next year and eventually house a "variety of restaurants."

What's next: Daisy's should open "in the next few weeks," Kirwan tells Axios.

Editor's note: This story has been corrected to show Rockett's Landing was the only Richmond restaurant north of the James (not along all of the James) with a view of the river.
