We have had a few questions and comments over the short life of the blog. I have to apologize for not answering those questions sooner. Here are a few thanks for some great comments and replies to a few inquiries.

1) Jeff and Gwen:
Welcome back and we can’t wait to stop by and try some exciting and quality food. When will you start taking reservations?

VOLT: Thank you for the salutation, we will announce our opening date in the next few weeks, we will begin taking reservations via opentable.com and also over the phone starting one month out from opening. Stay tuned for updates on the blog as we get closer to determining our opening dates.

2) Roberta Redfern:
I had the chance to meet Chef Bryan recently when he visited our culinary facility in Northern Ohio, and his creativity is amazing! This restaurant will surely be a welcome addition to your area.

VOLT: Roberta thank you for the comment, please give my best to Farmer Jones, I had a great time at the Culinary Vegetable Institute and look forward to working with all of you soon at VOLT -Bryan

3) Natalie Vetter:
How Awesome and what a great addition to Frederick. Congrat’s and looking forward
to watching your restaurant grow. To join with Dublin and Serina look out
only the best!!! Frederick can only be so blessed..

VOLT: Natalie, thank you as well for your support. We are very lucky to have an artisan roaster right in Downtown Frederick. You know I find it very hard to drive sometimes when I make my way past Serina’s shop, the aroma can be overpowering. We are very excited about our coffee program. If you cannot wait to get your coffee fix at VOLT, check out Serina’s site:

There were many more great comments and compliments and we thank all of you for taking the time to respond with your thoughts. We look forward to having all of you as our guests when we open the doors to VOLT.

Cheers!

We are well under way with construction at this point. It is very exciting to see Charlie, our architect, and our vision taking shape. Our kitchen view dining room, dubed the chef’s dining room, ceiling and framing are almost complete. Our lounge and main dining room are also framed to the point where the walls and ceilings look a bit like a large skeleton of the restaurant. This week our hood will arrive and the install will be early in the week. That in it’s self is an exciting milestone, as we all know what is stationed underneath will be close behind. Plumbers, electricians, masons, and steelworkers are all taking position and working simultaneously to bring the space to life. It is a sight to see all of the trades working in harmony. It is also a feat that takes a lot of planning to orchestrate.
