Hey Lucy at Mel's?

I've noticed a Hey Lucy sign at the site of the former Mel's Montreal Delicatessen at Bloor and Howland. The name makes it sound like a diner, but if it's a sister to the one on King West, it's a bistro with a lot of buzz that features cheap martini nights.
Cheers,
Vanessa

blogTO, December 7th - The Changing Face of the Annex (by Robin Sharp):

The former home of Mel's, the quirky Montreal style diner that closed earlier this year is finally getting a new tenant — and it's a familiar name. The owners of Hey Lucy, the restaurant and cocktail bar near John St. on King West, will be opening their second location.

Of course the addition of a nine-yard long zebra-print couch (spotted through the window) to the neighbourhood brings up the question that many Annex residents have been asking recently: where did the bohemian vibe of the neighbourhood go? What is The Annex becoming?
