Downtown Dayton restaurant opens with limited hours now, expanded hours later
Michael’s Dining & Jazz, 40 N. Main St. in the Kettering Tower, has opened for breakfast and lunch while awaiting its liquor license so it can expand into Happy Hour, dinner service and evening entertainment offerings.
Michael Perry, co-owner of the restaurant and entertainment spot we wrote about in April, said he’s hoping to expand the hours of Michael’s on or about July 1.
“We’re going to wait until we’re serving dinner before we do any sort of grand opening,” Perry said.
Meanwhile, the breakfast and lunch service has been gaining momentum since opening about two weeks ago, Perry said. Some diner favorites so far have been the Waffles with Fresh Strawberries for breakfast, and the Walleye Sandwich, Couscous salad and Black & Bleu Burger lunch menu items.
The restaurant is located in the former Chantille’s Restaurant, which closed in February 2008, in the space that once housed the King Cole restaurant.
Until dinner service starts, Michael’s Dining & Jazz is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Jazz Sunday Brunch. It is closed Saturday. For more information, call (937) 331-9188.

TweetRibbon-cutting today kicks off restaurant’s grand opening
The new merged restaurant of sorts that we told you about five weeks ago is launching a two-week grand opening celebration with a ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. today, June 2.
The new Artisans Cafe at 47 S. Springboro Pike in the International Village near the Dayton Mall is the second location for its owners, Joe and Pam Heitz, who have teamed up with Akram Fadel, owner of the Taste of Mediterranean restaurant, in the new venture, which combines parts of both restaurants’ menus. The couple operate the original Artisans Cafe in the Randolph Plaza on North Main Street in Clayton in addition to the Miamisburg location.
The new Artisans Cafe’s slogan is “Where the Mid-east meets the Mid-west,” and a news release refers to the new restaurant as “a dining ‘Mecca’ for meat-eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians.” The menu includes falafel, hummus, kabobs, whole-wheat pizzas and whole-wheat wraps, and the restaurant includes an artists’ gallery and will host live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
The hours are Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (closed Sunday). For more information, call (937) 434-9140.
