Morrison’s Seafood Restaurant in Beach Haven was destroyed in a fire in 2005. The landmark restaurant owned and operated by Janine Kleber and her family will be rebuilt, and the family is ready to move forward with the project.
In February, the family appeared in front of the borough’s Land Use Board and had its proposal for the new restaurant approved. The new 9,000-square-foot restaurant, which is slated to be ready for the summer of 2012, will have 132 seats indoors and an additional 20 outside.
To start the rebuilding efforts, Kleber said the marina will have to clear the site where the fire happened. The family is shooting to have the restaurant up and running sometime in 2012. Kleber would not go into specifics about the cost of the new restaurant.
