DESIGN SPOTLIGHT - XIX Nineteen Restaurant & Bar
XIX Nineteen Restaurant & Bar is the newest addition to the Bay of Quinte Golf and Country Club. The anticipation was evident, when over 60 guests were present for the ribbon cutting and soft opening on July 19th.
The restaurant itself is situated at the end of a long entrance way. The road leading to the restaurant is lined symmetrically with beautiful landscaping, drawing the guests to the wood trimmed building overlooking the 18th hole. Inside, the building has beautiful 15ft ceilings with large high windows that allow natural light to shine through the entire space. The decor is modern with crisp lines and stunning stainless steel accents throughout. There is seating for just over 40 guests and an additional 40 on the patio overlooking the course. Originally the restaurant was only going to be open seasonally; however, the decision was made to remain 1open year round.
Chef Chris Harvey is excited about the new restaurant and looks forward to the opportunity to provide guests with a fine, up-market twist on traditional food. Currently, the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner service; however, brunch is in the works and will likely be added in the near future. XIX has teamed up with local farmers and suppliers, Honey Wagon Farms and Fosterholm, to ensure the food they serve is organic and fresh.
“The kitchen was the most challenging aspect of the design process; the space was small which meant that Jenna had to maximize every inch of space to ensure proper work flow”
- Matt Julien (Director of Construction)
The Russell Hendrix team worked closely with Owner Roger Lichty, General Manager Marc Ray, local design/build contractor Bel-Con and design firm Pace Designs to bring the kitchen, bar and dining area to life. As with most designs, multiple revisions were made to ensure the overall vision was met.
Matt Julien (Director of Construction) commented on the project, stating that, “The kitchen was the most challenging aspect of the design process; the space was small which meant that Jenna had to maximize every inch of space to ensure proper work flow”. The equipment chosen had to be compact, yet powerful enough to stand up to the demands of a commercial kitchen. Two True units were chosen specifically for the space; a T-19F and a T-19 (reach in freezer and fridge). These units are perfect for smaller kitchens as they provide ample storage and optimize space. For sanitation the kitchen is equipped with a Hobart ventless dishwasher. First of its kind, this unit eliminates the need for a vent hood and ducting, which results in a significant cost savings. In addition to this unit, the kitchen houses an array of custom stainless steel; a prep table with a sink, two clean and soiled dish tables and a double pick up shelf.
The kitchen has two Garland MJ35 Frymaster Fryers, designed for all-purpose frying and can produce up to 65 lbs of French fries per hour. Beside the fryer is a Garland G-24-BRL Ceramic Briquette Charbroiler, ideal for grilling a variety of meats such as burgers, fish, poultry and more. Lastly, the kitchen wouldn’t be complete without a Garland 36” gas range with 12” griddle top and standard oven.
Although regarded as the 19th hole, XIX isn’t just for golfers; the menu has something for everyone. So whether you’re looking to relax after a round or need a place for lunch or drinks on a patio XIX is the place to go.
