New 7,200-square-foot restaurant and banquet center opens today

Reflections@pmg Restaurant, Banquet Center and Event Center opens today, Jan. 21, at 3377 U.S. 35 East, about two-and-a-half miles west of West Alexandria, next door to the Robert L. Crooks Funeral Center at Preble Memory Gardens in Preble County. The newly constructed 7,200-square-foot facility is owned by Dan and Caralynn Appenzeller of Brookville, owners of the funeral home and memory gardens.

The restaurant opens with 20 employees, but more are expected to be hired as banquet and special events are booked, according to Klaas Lampe, the facility’s general manager. A ribbon-cutting and dedication for the new business is scheduled for this morning, and the restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner today despite the inclement weather. Going forward, Reflections@pmg will be open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and serves brunch on Sundays.

The new center seats 100-120 in the restaurant, 40 in a private dining area, and the event center accommodates up to 140 people for wedding receptions, seminars, reunions, church functions, trade shows or other events.
