RALEIGH — A new dining concept described by its owners as “elevated” is scheduled to open this fall in the Glenwood Avenue space most recently occupied by Provenance, which was also described as elevated at its 2021 opening and closed eighteen months later following what a spokesperson characterized as “a recalibration of vision.”
The incoming restaurant, which has not yet announced its name, issued a press release Tuesday stating that it will offer “locally sourced ingredients, a curated beverage program, and a menu that honors the land while remaining approachable.” The release did not specify which land.
Chef and co-owner Marcus Ellery, who previously worked at two other Raleigh restaurants also described as elevated, said he and his partners are “committed to the neighborhood,” though the release did not indicate which neighborhood the restaurant considers itself committed to, as Glenwood Avenue borders three.
“We want people to feel like they’re having an experience,” Ellery told reporters at an event held in the not-yet-renovated space, where folding chairs had been arranged near an exposed brick wall that will be “celebrated” in the final design. “Not just a meal. An experience.”
The space has housed four restaurants since 2014, each of which was described in its opening press release as “bringing something new to the neighborhood.” Reached for comment, a spokesperson for the building’s property management company said this was “a testament to the neighborhood’s vitality.”
The new restaurant is expected to open in October, pending permits and a “soft launch period” for invited guests, the criteria for invitation having not yet been determined.
Reservations will not be accepted. Walk-ins will be “warmly welcomed.” The restaurant will seat 68.
