Crown Restaurant Group’s Latest Venture
Last week, Anthony Sitek and Haley Nutter-Sitek announced the theme of their latest restaurant downtown: a London-style public house. The 4,000-square-foot restaurant space’s menu will lean into an Indian influence, featuring a variety of curries, chutneys, samosas, house-made naan and more. Opening later this year in the Foundry development on Vine Street, the restaurant (which has yet to be named) will be Crown Restaurant Group’s sixth eatery.
