Zahav had two nights of "friends-and-family" test dinners over the weekend.
Here, in a photo by Michael T. Regan taken Saturday night, is a good view of the dining room. Note the kitchen at right through the window frames and the bar at left. The lighting looks so much better here than in the showroom at Material Culture, eh?
Today is exactly five months since Mike Solomonov (or Mike Solo, as everyone calls him) wielded a sledge and started demolition -- ceremoniously, of course -- on the $700,000-plus project. I'll do a recap later in the week.
Though the liquor license is not physically in hand -- they're expecting it soon -- dinner starts today at 5 p.m., and it'll be open nightly. (If the license doesn't arrive today, they plan to pour complimentary wine, as many restaurants do while waiting for Harrisburg.) I'm told that tonight is not "fully committed."
The Quarter (tucked behind the curtains in the rear of the photo) won't open right away.
See the menu here.
Below is a photo of pretty much the same view on Dec. 23, though the kitchen is not shown.
