Oak & Stone, a gourmet tavern with roots in Sarasota, has set an opening date of Dec. 17 for its new Cape Coral restaurant.
The company’s new 200-seat eatery is at 4720 S.E. 9th Place in the $103 million The Cove at 47th mixed used development, a project that local leaders have long said would elevate the city’s commercial district.
This will be the Artistry Restaurant-owned chain’s eighth location, its second in Lee County. The Winter Park restaurant group, which opened the first Oak & Stone, in Sarasota in 2016, says in a statement that it is the first of several planned for the next 18 months.
Oak & Stone’s menu is made up of made-from-scratch dishes and artisan pizzas. Among its offerings are smoky gouda mac ‘n cheese, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, slow-roasted wings and the voodoo chicken sandwich
The new location will also feature and updated version of its Tap Wall, a self-pour craft beer wall that has been expanded to include local craft beer, wine and cocktails.
The Cove at 47th sits on 3.9 acres on Cape Coral Parkway East between SE 8th and 9th Courts.
It’s made up of 327 apartments, a rooftop deck and 19,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
For several years, as the project was designed and built, local business and civic leaders have said it was the type of project that will bring a new energy and a new crop of residents and amenities the city.
