Ryan Braun's Waterfront announces new executive chef

The former executive chef at Umami Moto will take the lead at Ryan Braun’s Waterfront under its new ownership, the restaurant said Wednesday in a news release.

Dominic Zumpano is developing a new menu and will oversee the kitchen when the 3rd Ward restaurant reopens in March.

“Zumpano will bring his Italian heritage to the menu at RBWF,” the release said. “Diners will savor fresh and authentic Italian cuisine, featuring the best local products and bold flavors Zumpano cooking is known for.”

Surg Restaurant Group, the Oak Creek-based owner of Umami Moto and other restaurants, bought Ryan Braun’s Waterfront after the previous investment group shut the restaurant down. Interior renovation plans are currently being finalized, and the restaurant should be open well before the Milwaukee Brewers home opener April 4, the release said. The restaurant will honor gift cards issued under the previous owners.
