Sycamore’s sequel coming to Lansdowne soon

Stephen Wagner and chef Sam Jacobson still haven’t decided on a name for their new restaurant coming to 14 S. Lansdowne Avenue in Lansdowne, but the space is coming along nicely, with March as the word for the soft opening.

Wagner has outfitted the former hardware store, more than quadruple the size of his nearby Sycamore, with honey-toned wood planks, box chandeliers awaiting fabric wraps, doing much of the construction and refinishing himself. Repurposed factory windows serve as room dividers, cordoning off intimate seating vignettes that make the lofty space feel cozy, while a massive wooden slab discovered in the basement has become a communal dining table for the restaurant’s back room.

Flanked by a pair of high-tops at which Jacobson will serve casual, off-menu tastings, the open kitchen acts as the room's focal point. Once the last of the hardware is delivered, he can get cooking in the space, putting ingredients to the fire for the Mediterranean menu he's been developing since the summer. Stay tuned to Meal Ticket for the opening menu.
