Richard Lambert and Jesse Girard of The Social along with Kei Ng and Brian Richer of Oddfellows restaurant and Castor design studio, join forces to present a 5,000 square-foot multidisciplinary space. The main floor restaurant, led by chef Matty Matheson, will serve hearty comfort fare using locally-sourced ingredients. 'The Shop,' on the lower level, is a live music venue run by resident concert promoter Mark Pesci, and the roof top features a garden community project that grows many of the ingredients for the restaurant's signature dishes.
