New roof top restaurant opening

I saw this is the jobs forum:
Nationally acclaimed, Concentrics Restaurants, is partnering with First Hospitality Group to bring an open-air rooftop restaurant and bar with unique food and beverage concept to the Louisville area. Set to open in the fall of 2014, this new high-energy rooftop concept will be located adjacent to the historic Henry Clay building in downtown Louisville.

Sounds like a cool concept! Anybody know anymore about this place, the Chef and when it's actually going to open?

Deb, Len Stevens, who with his wife Nancy Richards was the guy behind L&N Wine Bar, and who later ran the front of the house for the opening of MilkWood, is honchoing this. He's not in a position to say much about it yet, but he promises that HotBytes will get the word when he does.

Just in time for winter!

That did seem a little outside-the-box.

Apparently this guy is lined up to be the chef:

From the website: "Eight up, located at The Hilton Garden Inn Louisville, is an indoor-outdoor rooftop bar and restaurant concept with 2 bars (bourbon-centric cocktail program) and 2 kitchens (large array of small plates). Opening early November 2014."
Sounds interesting and the indoor-outdoor thingie should work as we head into winter. I'll give them a try.

I'm going to guess no.

Ah, but yes. If you read the bizjournal article linked above, yes indeed.

Hopefully, he's had a major attitude adjustment since that article was written!
