Thanks in part to JLL, The Eatery, a new food hall dining destination, opened for business on the ground floor of One Metropolitan Square in St. Louis today.
Following a $2.5 million renovation of a former restaurant and common-area space, The Eatery now offers a modern interior featuring Arista Gourmet, Dino’s Deli and Kimcheese Asian Fusion. It is the first downtown location for each of the restaurants, which have hired about 25 new employees among them to staff their eateries.
JLL is currently in talks with two additional prospective restaurants, which would bring The Eatery to its maximum capacity of five restaurateurs.
Nehring Design of St. Louis created the food hall’s 9,628-square-foot design. The space features a variety of high-top, lounge and counter seating, as well as high ceilings and windows offering natural lighting.
