“When one door closes, another one opens.”
May 16th, 2008 by Amber
It is almost one year to date that Abbracci, the restaurant to first define 511 North High Street, closed its doors for business. In honor of the spirit and the people of Abbracci, the opening of the door to a new restaurant is to be a respectful tribute to what once was and a celebration of what is to be. The opening of the DeepWood door is symbolized on this one-year date by the literal installation of our new oak door. It will invite guests into the space in a new location as well; the front door will now rest on the corner of High and Swan streets.
The remodel of the restaurant space started a week and a half ago; in these eleven days the crew of Sagraves construction has removed the previous bar, partially handcrafted the new oak bar, re-structured the lighting design, installed adjusted plumbing, constructed a vestibule and undertaken a detailed schedule of millwork. It is a team that I am honored to work with in bringing our concept to life. A wide plank floor, circular booths, ceiling mural, partial room divide and open air style front window panels still have yet to be part of the transformation, a process we plan to see unfolding in a month’s time.
A process that will close our door on the 6-month creation, development and anticipation of a restaurant and will celebrate the official opening of DeepWood.
