For Chef Paul Adair’s first concept, he wanted guests to feel as though they were attending a dinner party at a stylish friend’s house. That meant the design needed to create a relaxed, residential and retro-chic atmosphere that would showcase his globally influenced new southern cuisine. Residential elements abound, with an aesthetic strongly influenced by Adair’s 1970s childhood. The judges felt the team did a “great job transforming it” and “loved the character of the space.” They also felt the branding was “spot on” and “perfectly peppered throughout the space.”
