A new steakhouse is set to open in January 2025 at 101 W. Main St. in Lexington in the former Alodia’s Cucina Italiana spot which closed earlier this year. Led by Midlands restauranteurs Steve Cook, Joe Walker, and Ryan Jones, the new restaurant looks to provide an elevated, yet welcoming, dining experience.

What to expect

The restaurant will feature hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, homemade pasta, and seasonal dishes. Renovations are currently underway, with Boyer Construction preserving the building’s historic features. The restaurant will include a main dining room, private areas, and outdoor seating.

Meet the owners

The team behind the new restaurant includes Cook, known for Saluda’s and most recently Arroyo Tacos and Tequila, bringing local culinary expertise. Walker, owner of franchises like Marco’s Pizza, Molto Vino, and Scooter’s Coffee, offers concept development experience. Jones, formerly of Hall’s Chophouse, contributes his operational expertise.

Stay tuned for more details including the name and menu, to be announced soon.
