New restaurant replaces Artisans Cafe
CLAYTON — Plate O’ Noodles has opened in the former Artisans Cafe space at 8351 N. Main St. in the Randolph Plaza, according to co-owner Pam Heintz.
Artisans Cafe closed in late July due to slow sales, Heintz said July 11. She and her husband Joe decided to close the existing fine-dining restaurant and reopen as Plate O’Noodles, a more casual, less labor-intensive restaurant. James Shipley, who served as chef for Artisans, serves as chef for the new restaurant. Overall employment dropped from 16 to four, Heintz said.
Plate O’ Noodles features noodle dishes from Asia, Italy, America, and elsewhere. The menu includes Mac ‘n’ Cheese and Pad Thai as well as Italian pasta dishes such as spaghetti and fettuccine with marinara, Bolognese, alfredo, Parmesan and other sauce choices. Whole wheat pasta is available for the Italian dishes. The most popular dish in the restaurant’s first few days has been Vegan Pad Thai, Heintz said.
Plate O’ Noodles seats 42. Carryout and delivery are available.
Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday. For more information, call (937) 890-5250 or go to the Plate O’ Noodles Facebook page.
