It’s been a long time coming, but as of next week the Corner Kitchen will open it’s doors on the corner of 5th & Wayne in the Oregon District. We revealed the name and plans for this eatery last October. The remodeling of this former nightclub took a while, since it had never had a kitchen in the space. Due to the make up of the building, the venting of the kitchen hood meant the work couldn’t get done over the winter, and owners Jack and Natalie Skilliter had to wait until this spring to get the kitchen work done.
Jack & Natalie, last year before the building was painted.
Chef Jack describes Corner Kitchen “as a ‘finer diner. We intend to provide our guests with mouthwatering updates on many familiar classics. Corner Kitchen will bring a warm spirit to Dayton, a relaxed mood and affordable, farm-fresh food. We will feature delicious food prepared with love and entirely from scratch and our flavors and our service will be exceptional.” While Chef Jack handles the kitchen, Natalie’s years of experience in the front of the house should give the new restaurant the smooth service needed for success.
Serving dinner Tuesday through Saturday, from 4:30-10pm and until 11pm on the weekend. The restaurant will be available for private events during the day.
