Talus Spirits & Sustenance’s West Maple Road location is targeting an opening day after Christmas as interior work wraps up at 17205 Evans Street in Whispering Ridge. Owner Aron Mackevicius said in a Facebook Live that the restaurant is finishing its 25-to-30-seat bar, booths and seating. The Maple location will offer a slightly different menu than the Papillion restaurant while keeping several classics. – Nicole Buntgen
