The new restaurant will be operated by Danny & Heather Reifschneider in a building leased from Gregg Crawford and with financial assistance from the City of Columbia's revolving loan fund. Heather--also the proprietor of Vida Verde Salon & Boutique, elsewhere on Main Street--grew up in the food service industry; her father owns Miller's Crossing in Chesterfield. Reifschneider's will pattern its service, quality and menu after Miller's Crossing with prices that meet the expectations of Metro East customers.
Renovation for the restaurant is being completed on the former Main Street Bar & Grill to provide inside seating for 60 patrons (plus additional seating at the bar) and to create new outdoor seating accommodations for as many as 76 customers.
It is great to see this, and I hope the local residents will do their best to support it. I think Main St. as a destination is the right strategy for a community like Columbia.

ReplyDeleteHey - the author left out The Thai House - one of Columbia's biggest and most interesting draws. What is the deal?
ReplyDeleteThai House is always left out of things by some other business owners. It could be because people come from St. Louis to Columbia just to eat at Thai House and not their places.
