Housed in the circa-1935 brick building, the new restaurant was abuzz with curious patrons and a fresh staff eager to answer questions.

The restaurant is set to open to the public Wednesday.

Valet paring was provided for guests, and smart yellow awnings have been added over the tall windows facing the street. New patio seating is located on the left side of the structure where a small patch of green once was.

"It's not about the owners, it's about the executive chef Alex Rosado," Mark Moeller restaurant consultant/ manager, said of the restaurant's fare. "We are ecstatic to be open, we are grateful to be part of this community, we are here to make everybody as happy as they can be and bring them world-class cuisine."
