Extraordinarily busy restaurateur Chris Hyndman says his new project, Tavern, is opening today on Broadway in Midtown, filling the former location of Lime.
As I reported on Bites in December, the sleek Latin-influenced restaurant Lime shut down to make way for the new concept. “The direction of the neighborhood has trended more casual,” Hyndman said at the time.
We haven't seen the Tavern menu yet, but Hyndman has promised “warm tavern fare,” familiar and accessible but made with fresh ingredients and local produce.
Hyndman recently moved his pioneering restaurant Virago to a sprawling space off the Gulch on McGavock, which he has dubbed the M Street. He already has Whiskey Kitchen on the block and another new restaurant, steakhouse Kayne Prime, is expected to open soon on McGavock in the former Radius10 space.
