133 West opens today
By Loretta Cozart
Owner Iris Hubbard and executive chef Evan Garr have worked hard for this day, the grand opening of 133 West on Mountain Street.
The old Grayson’s Jewelry, later the home of Kings Tavern, has undergone a total transformation. Inside, the restaurant is tastefully decorated in a monochromatic black and white, with pops of color from flowers placed throughout.
The Senior Park next door was gutted and a beautiful patio with performance stage added. Plantings and benches soften the hardscapes and invite passersby to stop in and take a break from the heat.
For three weeks, Hubbard and Garr have worked through the soft opening, followed by limited hours last week. Starting Wednesday, Sept 2, the restaurant will begin normal hours, serving lunch, dinner, and brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Reservations are only required for parties of six or more.
On Saturday, Sept. 5, singer-songwriter Scoot Pittman will perform on the patio between 1 pm and 4 pm. “We hope folks will join us this week to celebrate our grand opening. Stop in on Saturday afternoon to relax and listen to music on the patio with us,” Hubbard said.
Hubbard and Garr have sifted through customer comment cards to hone the menu from items offered during the soft opening. They describe their menu as a modern and creative approach to southern cuisine.
Their Grand Opening menu offers a variety of southern dishes, Fried Green Tomato, Pork Rinds with Smokey Cheese Dip, Brie & Crackers, and Filet & Grits - an 8 oz certified angus beef filet mignon atop their house made grit-cake dressed with fresh arugula salad. They have Shrimp & Grits, too. These aren’t your mama’s grits. They also have a 3-course pairing menu and a menu sure to please the kiddos.
