Flagship Restaurant Group will close Plank Provisions in the Old Market and reopen it as Anthem, a Tex-Asian pub. Plank Provisions is a seafood restaurant and oyster bar at 1205 Howard Street. Its last day will be December 31st. Renovations will take several months. Anthem is expected to open in June. Anthem has one existing location in Austin, Tex., and is described as a “design-savvy eatery for Latin & Asian pub fare, plus tiki drinks & sake bombs.”

Stunned. Plank always seems pretty busy when I’m through there.
I walk by there regularly and it’s generally not busy. Maybe they did ok on weekends, during downtown events, CWS & etc. But on your average weeknight it's a ghost town. I actually walked by tonight and it wasn’t full but as busy as I recall seeing it in some time. Of course there are events at both The Orpheum and Holland tonight.
Went there with a relative yesterday. I think they did a great job with the interior design. Sunday happy hour—-food was decent (Mexican/Asian fusion). Place was packed. This is an Austin based second restaurant.

Like Brad said it is more like an Omaha restaurant chain decided to bring a second location of a concept they started elsewhere here. Ghost Donkey from Flagship is similar that it was in other cities before Omaha.
