Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

TAMPA Now that the Epicurean Hotel is open and the Elevage restaurant, Edge Social Drinkery and Chocolate Pi patisserie are serving customers, the owner of Berns Steak House announced Monday that sister restaurant SideBerns will get a major makeover.

David Laxer said the changes at the 18-year-old South Howard Avenue restaurant were long planned following Berns Fine Wine & Spirits relocation south to the Epicurean from SideBerns. With all the bottles moved and the space empty, renovating the modern fusion restaurant is now possible.

SideBerns will close on June 24 so that construction can begin at the award-winning 150-seat restaurant, Laxer said. No reopening date has been set, but it is expected service will restart near the end of the year.

For the past five years, the restaurant has closed for 10 days each summer for maintenance and decor improvements. Laxer said this years renovation plans are too extensive to complete in such a short amount of time.

Its a bigger endeavor than tearing up some floor, putting paint on the walls and moving furniture around, Laxer said. We just cant continue to have that dead space in the former wine store. Now its about figuring out the nuts and bolts of what to do.

In 2012, Berns joined with Mainsail Lodging & Development and Marriott to build the food-themed Epicurean Hotel across from the steak house on South Howard Avenue.

The land for the hotel, as well as the parking garage behind the resort, was provided by Laxer. Mainsail built the hotel and oversees its operations. Marriott provides the reservations and booking system.

Staff from Berns and SideBerns operate the Elevage restaurant, Chocolate Pi bakery and the Edge rooftop bar, as well as in-room and spa food and beverage hospitality. The restaurant also provides food for catering events in the ballroom as well as private functions inside the Epicureans Culinary Theater.

It takes time to do something right and we want to do it right, Berns spokeswoman Brooke Palmer said of the renovation. We want to bring SideBerns to the level of the hotel and Elevage.

In 1996, SideBerns started as three separate buildings, including the wine shop, the restaurant and a warehouse. As the restaurant grew from a dessert and wine space into a full-fledged restaurant under former chef Jeannie Pierola, the land between the wine shop and dining room was enclosed as The Brick Room to accommodate large groups and functions.

DECATURCome September, what will be a new restaurant for community members will serve as a laboratory for students at Richland Community College.

When people think of a lab, they usually picture beakers and Bunsen burners, instead of forks, spoons and duck pat, said Greg Florian, Richland vice president of finance and administration.

After about $1 million and a year of construction, the college invited the public Wednesday to get a peek of Bistro 537, the Culinary Arts Institute student-operated restaurant. The ribbon-cutting doubled as a Business After Hours event for the Greater Decatur Chamber of Commerce where food, beverages and tours of the facility were provided to more than 150 attendants.

Chamber President Mirinda Rothrock said Bistro 537 will give students real-life experience that could lead to one day opening their own restaurant and spurring commerce in the community.

The culinary institute is one great way to think of economic development, Rothrock said. Students here receiving their education are becoming our future work force.

Though most of the construction on the facility, located adjacent to the Shilling Center, has been completed, the college will focus on finalizing detail work during the summer, Florian said.

Once open, the restaurant will offer lunch and dinner on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the menu changing each month.

From a fast lunch service to a fine dining experience and everything in between, the menu will evolve each month as students progress, Chef Ryan Rogiers said.

The restaurant serves as one project in a long list of construction developments taking place at the college this summer.

The Workforce Development Institute, a 45,000 square-foot building costing about $16 million, is slated for completion in October and will house the college's auto body, auto technology, diesel technology and construction trades programs along with the fitness and wellness center as well as space for Heartland Technical Academy students. Equipment will start to be hauled into the building in July.
