With The 616‘s official ribbon cutting happening at 4 PM on Friday (you’re invited!), it’s time to wrap up our sneak preview of the farm-to-table restaurant. We’ve published Part #1, Part #2 and Part #3 of the PhotoCentral series from Wednesday’s sneak preview night. Let’s wrap it up with the final look at inside & outside of the restaurant.
Look at the beautiful custom-made woodwork.
Here’s a final look at the Chef’s Private Dinner Room.
Mike & Courtney Nicholas, HELLO!
I’m wrapping up my photos, and of the terrific employees pulls me to the side. He says “You’ve got to get the bathrooms too, because we’ve made them just as beautiful.” So in a first for SouthsideCentral, we have bathroom photos. Here’s the decorations in the men’s room.
Here’s the women’s room. Yes, of course I was escorted here.
The Neopolis Live! stage will feature music from all genres, with Jerry Meadors helping book the talent. Tonight, we have a piano player on a historic old piano.
The Copper Bar is… well, a copper bar, and it’s spotless. We’re done inside, so let’s head out the door.
You can’t get more historic than this, folks.
A classic neon sign adds to the historic ambiance of the building.
That’s it, folks. You’ve gotten the most complete look inside and out of The 616. The only thing left for you is to have dinner there. I hope you do it soon and I know you’ll love it. Special thanks to owner Steve DelGiorno and executive chef Chris King for their hospitality. You’ll get the same food, drinks, service and hospitality that I did, folks.
I really hope this restaurant succeeds, this area of Danville has so much potential, its historic, the architecture is great to look at, its walk-able. This area is also very very sketchy, then again downtown was sketchy for a long time, well it still sorta is but it is getting better.
Any pix of the menu?
We just had a limited selection menu on the sneak preview night. They kept stressing that the menu would change on a weekly basis due to the availability of ingredients, so I’m hoping they’ll update their website on that frequent of a basis.
In the portraits from left to right: George C. Corbin, Thomas A. Corbin, Josephine Walton-Corbin Lee and Eliza Corbin-Lee Buntin. George was 2nd mayor of Neapolis and Thomas was his brother. Eliza was the adoptive Mother/sister to Josephine and the aunt of George and Thomas.
(Editor’s Note: Travis left a note to correct the order of the names, so I’ve done that for him.)
Thank you for the review Bruce. We will definitely be making the trip from Martinsville to try this out. It is really great to see positive comments about the town I grew up in. The owners should be congratulated for making a contribution to providing a different variety of experiences in my old home town.
It’s my pleasure. I would like to hear your opinion on the restaurant once you eat there.
