So far, forged is the only tenant but plans call for community meeting spaces and a youth center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Locally sourced ingredients, fresh seafood, and gourmet fare will be offered in a menu that changes with the seasons. The kitchen will be supervised by Certified Executive Chef AJ Richards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Richards has cooked at several area restaurants and trained at a Chicago restaurant with a three-star Michelin rating, Dingman said. Christina Ostrander, a local resident and Richards\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, will be involved in the operation of the restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">forged will have a main dining room seating about 50 people and a pub area seating another 30 or so.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The two sides of the restaurant will have separate menus with fine dining in the main room and more informal pub fare in the other area. There are also plans for a small room for private parties, wine tastings and similar events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Dingman, who has managed several Glens Falls eateries, has extensive wine knowledge and will oversee the wine cellar and wine tastings, with the assistance of a wine consultant. He said that forged will combine \u201cunique cuisine\u201d with \u201ca beautiful wine and beer experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->Another feature of the new restaurant will be an art wall, featuring work by local artists. Various farms that supply ingredients for the forged menu will be featured in other exhibits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The restaurant plans to have live music in the future however nothing is scheduled at this time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A staff of 15 full- and part-time<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>employees has been hired.
