Construction work has begun on Arthur & Sons and Pearl’s Roadside at the former Tortilla Jo’s location.
Disneyland has filed building permits with the city of Anaheim to demolish the 18,900-square-foot Tortilla Jo’s building. The city permit calls for utilities to be capped and the basement level staircase and elevator shaft to remain.

Isidori operates Arthur & Sons restaurants in Manhattan that focus more on Italian food than steaks. The restaurant is named for Isidori’s father Arthur who butchered steaks and chops during the day and ran a restaurant in the evenings.
Isidori’s family has owned and operated restaurants for three generations in Manhattan, Harlem, Brooklyn and the Bronx since 1954.

The celebrity chef has participated in “Iron Chef America,” “Beat Bobby Flay” and various Food Network culinary competition shows.

Disneyland shuttered Steakhouse 55 in the Disneyland Hotel during the COVID-19 pandemic. That steakhouse took diners back to a bygone era of lavish decadence and old Hollywood glamor with dirty martinis, bone-in rib-eyes and a legendary 24-layer chocolate cake.
Walt Disney Imagineering created a new Broken Spell Lounge in the former Steakhouse 55 location.
