A new chef-driven dining venue has transformed the former space of The Causeway, a short-lived food hall that closed this spring in Bonita Springs.

The Industry Standard Kitchen + Bar debuted in mid-September at 28280 Old 41 Road, just south of Bonita Beach Road. Replacing four food concepts under one roof, the new full-service restaurant and bar includes the BrAva Pizza ghost kitchen.

“We tried it out with The Causeway. It didn’t work out,” said co-founder Ken Delaney.

His business partners didn’t want to continue with another local hospitality venture, but Delaney didn’t want to let it go. He bought out his original partners to co-partner with Executive Chef Adam Nardis on the new venture. Three years ago, Nardis launched and continues to operate Coldwater Oyster Market & Bar in south Fort Myers, and he previously was executive chef at Seventh South Craft Food + Drink and M Waterfront Grille in Naples.
