More on Rex 1516

In October we mentioned that Rex would be the name of the restaurant Jet Wine Bar owners Jill Weber and Evan Malone are opening at 1516 South Street, right across the street from Jet. Here's a little more on Rex 1516, as it'll be known properly. The space itself will carry the feel of a "faded mansion," with wrought iron, chandeliers, antique mirrors and plenty of distressed woodwork. Reclaimed materials, too, such as the paneling on the marble-topped bar, salvaged from the Rittenhouse Club (designed by Frank Furness). Food, from 'bama native Regis Jansen (1601, Royal Tavern, Latest Dish), is being billed a "comfort food with Creole roots" — crawfish pie, stuffed pork roulade and vegan meatloaf are among the proposed menu items. The restaurant should be opening in January.
