Rex 1516 opens March 1
Word from on high is that Rex 1516 (1516 South St.), the restaurant from Jet Wine Bar owners Jill Weber and Evan Malone, will open next Thursday, March 1. The 35-seater, designed to mimic the feel of a "faded mansion" (distressed wood, antique mirror pieces, wrought iron chandeliers), will feature a Southern-inflected menu from chef Regis Jansen, an Alabama native. Signatures of his will include crawfish pot pie, seitan meatloaf, stuffed pork loin and the house burger (pictured), a filet tip/brisket/pork belly blend served with gorgonzola and onion marmalade on a scratch-baked brioche roll. Pastry chef Shamus Moriarty will put out unconventional sweet plates like "Pretzels & Beer," a dark chocolate torte crusted with preztels and served with IPA caramel and stout/chocolate sauce. Heather Rodkey, who last ran Adsum, will handle GM duties here and has built the beverage program. Rex will serve lunch and dinner daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 5 to 11 p.m. respectively.
