DISH Cedar Springs is closing on Monday and relocating to an undisclosed location in spring 2017. Tim McEneny of NL Group (Front Room Tavern, DISH Preston Hollow and Dakotas) is opening Cedar Grove in its place. According to the release:
Executive Chef Pete Harrison (currently Executive Chef at DISH Cedar Springs) will be running the kitchen. McEneny, Chef Harrison and the design team lead by renowned architect Jonathan Bailey with Coeval Studios have been working collaboratively for months on the menu, experience, and design. Elements including grass-like material and over 50 handcrafted “trees” made of Maple wood are just two examples that intend to bring the outdoor in…With a total of 6,000 square feet, the restaurant will house 160+ seats including a 360-degree bar area, with a climate controlled patio environment and a 12’ ribbon fireplace to be enjoyed year round. Cedar Grove will be open from 3pm – midnight Monday – Friday, and 10:30am – midnight on Saturday/Sunday. Lunch, dinner and weekend brunch will be available as well as a daily happy hour.
“The name is a reflection of the location and also meant as a vibrant gathering place for our guests,” McEneny explains in a statement. “This has been an exciting project to work on and we are looking forward to unveiling it later this spring…DISH Cedar Springs has been open since 2009 and it’s proven to be a thriving and viable brand in another neighborhood, hence our desire to expand and consider new locations. We’re confident Cedar Grove will complement the lively and casual vibe of Ilume and answer the call for what we feel people are looking for in a bar and restaurant experience here.”
DISH Cedar Springs will close on Monday, February 29. Cedar Grove is slated to open in May.
