LT Bar & Grill’s new location spans 15,000 square feet on two floors, including a main dining room with seating for approximately 120 guests.
The second level, called "ABOVE," features an 8,000-square-foot private event space that accommodates up to 200 guests.
The restaurant will be located by the new mall grand entrance (where the Cheesecake Factory used to be).
The completion of the first and second phases of the mall's renovation resulted in a new dining and entertainment district with an AMC Dine-In Theatre and redesigned and enhanced installations of The Cheesecake Factory and Barnes & Noble.
LT Bar & Grill will open during the third and final phase of the property's transformative renovation, currently under way. Still to come are world-class dining and shopping options, a concierge lounge, and enhanced valet parking.
Phase three will be complete by Holiday Season 2019.
