\nA European-inspired eatery has opened in Glens Falls. It\u2019s called [farmacy], a restobar, located at 22 Ridge St.
\nA restobar is a place when people can eat, drink and watch as the food and beverages are prepared only a few feet away.
\n\u201cYou are literally sitting across the table from your chef, which is the same concept as sitting in a bar with the bartender right in front of you,\u201d said A.J. Richards, head chef and co-owner with his wife Christina.
\nThe restaurant is intimate, with seating for 44 people. But the real distinction is that everything is open, Richards said.
\n\u201cAn open kitchen such as this is both a blessing and a curse,\u201d he said. \u201cIt takes a different kind of cook.\u201d
\nBut the customers are responsive to the lack of walls, and \u201cthe chefs love it too,\u201d he said.
\nThe Richards have another restaurant they opened two and a half years ago, [forged] in Hudson Falls. Forged features small plates, healthy options and the same brackets around the name, designed to brand the establishments. Both feature an intimate setting and an \u201cexperimental style\u201d of cooking, he said.
\n\u201cWe build a new menu every day based off of what the farmers and producers have available to us,\u201d said Richards. \u201cIt starts with a concept or an idea of how the ingredients can fit in. There is a different vegan dish, meat dish, bread, and flavor of butter featured daily.\u201d
\nSince dishes are invented and reinvented daily, no menu is listed on the restaurant\u2019s website.
\nThe owners considered a few locations but settled on the downtown location which was the former home of GoldStar Pizza. The 100-year-old structure is three floors with offices upstairs.
\n\u201cI looked to buy the building seven or eight years ago but it wasn\u2019t feasible to purchase then, \u201c he said. \u201cBut the perfect storm of factors converged.\u201d
\nIn the months since [farmacy] opened, Richards said business has gone well.
\nHis wife, Christine, is \u201cthe one who makes everything happen,\u201d he said. \u201dShe runs the front of house, is a mixologist, and has a great palate.\u201d
\nJon McCormack joined [farmacy] as general manager. Richards said he hired McCormack at [forged] from The Garrison.
\nThe restobar was designed to be \u201cthe community watering hole for wine, beer or cocktail drinkers all under the same roof,\u201d he said. \u201cThe guests love it.\u201d
