A Fresh Take

Although small, this freestanding building has a big story to tell.  Originally built as a Lawson’s convenience store, it later became a long-standing family-owned Italian restaurant.  It now sits amongst a local dining district with other buildings that have also been converted to a variety of restaurants.

New owners envisioned a modern Mexican dining concept for the property.  A refreshed exterior and reworked site allow for a clearly defined entry and outdoor dining.  The interior was stripped down to the structure, much of which is now left exposed.  What was a series of small, divided rooms is now an open and inviting dining hall and bar.  A new opening to the exterior along the barback allows for simultaneous service to the indoor dining and patio.  The transformation of this property has created a unique experience for diners and better positioned it amongst its neighbors.
