I was talking more specifically about the wording of the sign, which I found odd. Ravi had previously reported that the following had been in minutes of a board meeting from Porto Cupecoy

" Brasserie New York will become Shanghai Brasserie opening around October 1st. It will be operated by Jimmy Goldman, Owner of Bamboo Bernies and Sky Beach in Maho, and managed by Elisa Cohen, former Owner of Bikini Beach in Orient Beach. The theme will be a fusion of Asian, including Thai and Mongolian Grill, and French in a brasserie atmosphere. Mario’s Bistro, famous in Sandy Ground for over 25 years, has moved to Porto Cupecoy and will open about the same time...

So, according to that communication, Mario's was scheduled to open around October 1 or so. Possibly the sign is just spelled wrong.
