Plans have been scrapped to open the restaurant “gaslight” in the former Bistro Tallulah space at 26 Ridge Street. Building owner Charles Mineo is now looking to lease the first-floor restaurant space, with the chef and staff intact.
“We decided to go in a different direction,” Chuck Mineo told The Chronicle.
“The space is fully equipped and turn-key, with an executive chef, Colin Miner, who has hand-picked his back-of-the-house staff. He’s ready to go.”
Mr. Mineo said investors interested in the space can contact him at 518-361-2348.
Chuck Mineo’s son Frank was going to run ‘gaslight,’ and had hired Mr. Miner, a Warrensburg native. It was due to open imminently.
Contacted for comment, Frank Mineo said, “I’m not moving forward with the restaurant. I really can’t get into specifics, but it just didn’t work out for me.”
The chef, Mr. Miner, told The Chronicle, “I’m doing everything I can to get an investor into the space. The inside is completely renovated and updated, and 95% complete.”
Charles Mineo bought the building, which dates from 1892, on Aug. 15, 2018, for $495,000. Previous owner Shawn Whalen operated Bistro Tallulah, a “French Country Spanish Bistro” for 10 years.
