RESTAURANT INTERIOR REMODELING

The interior remodel, including the kitchen, was the largest and most intensive of the renovation project. To start, we have a 166-year-old building, with the last major renovation occurring in 1981. As such, there were certainly several unknowns that we faced. We replaced all the existing carpeting with commercial woodgrain laminate flooring. All tables and chairs were replaced, along with all new dishware, flatware, and glassware. In addition, new decorative ceilings were installed in "The River Room" and "The Gallery". To complement this, we also installed sustainable dimmable LED lighting panels throughout the entire building. We have added LED candles and votives to all the tables for dinner service. We continue working to improve our atmosphere for the evening.

RESTAURANT KITCHEN REMODELING

When designing the kitchen renovation, our primary focus was to assure that all aspects of the new kitchen were compliant with the existing building and health codes. To that end, the walk-in cooler, main kitchen, and dish area were completely demolished and rebuilt with all new materials. This included new ceilings, walls, flooring, exhaust hood system, dish machine, and an expanded floor drain system. From an equipment perspective, we replaced or added the following items to the main kitchen: high-efficiency stove, griddle, grill, broiler, brick pizza oven, coolers, prep decks, and fryers. For the prep kitchen, we replaced or added: double combitherm oven, tilt skillet, stove, prep tables, protein prep station, bread slicing station. In addition, the dry storage area was completely painted, and the floors were waterproofed.
