A lack of parking and inadequate support from the building’s tenants made the Kettering Tower location too expensive to continue to operate, Hyman said.
The downtown Dayton location seated about 200 and employed about 20 people, Hyman said. The new restaurant will seat about 100 and will employ about 15. Hyman will operate his catering business from the North Dixie location, which also will serve as the base for his food-service operations that provide meals to a handful of Dayton-area charter schools.
The Kettering Tower location once housed the fine-dining King Cole restaurant, later Olivia’s, and more recently Michael’s Dining & Jazz, which closed in April 2010.
