New, locally owned steakhouse to open in Troy
It’s been just a little more than a year since we told you about CJ’s HighMarks Restaurant in Troy shutting its doors. Now 44-year-old Kent Wolters of Tipp City has leased the building at 1750 W. Main St. with the intention of opening a fine-dining restaurant there tentatively named Kent’s Steakhouse.
The projected opening date is sometime in September, Wolters said this morning, July 1.
Wolters works as a district manager for Crown Equipment Corp. of New Bremen and also races sprint cars at Eldora.
“I’ve always wanted to be in the restaurant business,” Wolters said. He noticed the “for lease” sign on the former HighMarks facility and worked out a deal.
Wolters said he’s unsure of the restaurant name, since “Kent’s Steakhouse” may be too limiting to describe a menu that is expected to include seafood and pasta dishes in addition to steaks.
“We’ll have premium food at a good value, and a full wine list,” Wolters said. The restaurant will have a full liquor license, he said.
He hopes to hire a general manager in the next few days and will then move forward with renovations.
The president of CJ’s HighMarks chose not to renew the lease last year for the restaurant that opened in 1990.
