What goes into building a restaurant? This week we’re sitting down with hospitality veteran Rob Levin, co-owner of 2A Wine Merchants and the forthcoming 1033 restaurant to find out more about the inspiration behind the 14-seat restaurant.
During our chat, Levin shares his vision for 1033, the thinking behind the design of the restaurant and the elements of the restaurant’s menu, created by Chef Justin Carlisle of Ardent. We also delve deeply into the topic of hospitality, answering questions like: What goes into providing a great experience for guests? What elements make a restaurant memorable? And why it’s a good thing if your restaurant isn’t right for everyone.
