Doc’s Restaurant is Moving to Park & Elm
Doc’s Restaurant – which is currently located in the historic Park Theater – will soon be moving across the street, with their last night of service on Saturday, November 19th. This move is part of a rebranding of Doc’s Restaurant, which will be called “Park & Elm”. At their current location, the kitchen can serve up to 60-65 people and the dining room could hold up to 50 guests; however, due to special events and high demand, Doc’s needed a larger kitchen and more space… When Doc’s would have a special event with 50 people or more, the restaurant would have to close because the original facility could not support both the event and regular dining.
Elizabeth and Ben Miller are the power behind the revitalization of this section of downtown Glens Falls. The mother and son team have invested in this area to fill a void in the community, and so Park & Elm will be a restaurant and specialty market. The specialty market and deli will feature local products as well as craft beer, in addition to specialty meats and cheeses as well as more common grocery items. The Millers crafted this concept with the neighborhood in mind; Glens Falls Hospital is within walking distance of Park & Elm. This creates a built-in customer base of hospital employees and visitors alike!
The market and deli will have an open house on Saturday, November 19th from 7am-9pm; this will also the final night of service across the street at Doc’s. The market and deli will be fully open to the public, with the restaurant’s opening date still to be announced; the move will be conducted over the next few weeks. Gift certificates that were purchased at Doc’s will be honored at the new restaurant.
The executive chef – Matthew J. Delos – will have the same role at Park & Elm. To sum up: Park & Elm will be substantially bigger than Doc’s Restaurant. The dining room will be able to seat 85 guests inside, and 60 additional guests on the patio. For more information, please visit park&elm.com
