Back in November, we reported that the owners of Ofrenda, a homestyle Mexican restaurant in the West Village, will open Black Ant at 60 Second Ave. in the space previously occupied by Bona Fides.

The Post today had a few more details on what to expect.

The 2,800-square-foot location will have four different dining areas — a small lounge that seats 15 with an additional 15 seats at the bar, two dining rooms seating a total of 60 plus an open garden that will seat 40.

Black Ant also will feature a private dining room with 25 seats.

According to their Twitter account, Black Ant is aiming for a late January opening.
