Mesh closing doors permanently

Stacey said the poor economy was the driving factor behind the closing of Mesh, which was a fine-dining restaurant with many dinner entrees costing between $30 and $50.

The restaurant opened in August 2006. Cincinnati chef Paul Sturkey was a co-owner of the venture, but sold his ownership interest about seven months ago to co-owners Richard and Cynthia Grow, Stacey said.

Mesh employs between 30 and 40 people. Employees will be considered for positions at Stone Creek Dining Co. when it opens in May, Stacey said.

Stone Creek will honor Mesh gift cards, Stacey said.
