Take a Sneak-Peek Inside Mall's New Dining Cafe

The new cafe will include four new restaurants.

Construction is coming to a close at the Westfield Annapolis Mall on a new addition to its dining lineup.

The TV crew from Animal Planet's Tanked was packing up on Tuesday morning in front of the new dining area, where two aquariums built by the show's stars will serve as centerpieces.

The new dining cafe will include four eateries, including YoLavie Yogurt, SMAK Cafe, Squisito's Pizza and Pasta and Dumpling Dojo. It will also have a play space for kids.

A grand opening for the dining cafe is scheduled for 10 a.m., June 5.

The cafe is part of an expansion at the mall that was completed in 2007. Since then, three restaurants in this section of the mall have closed, including Punk's Backyard Grill, Austin Grill and McCormick and Schmick's.
