Pretty cool – I drove down to the soon-to-open Rib & Chop House restaurant on First Avenue North a few days ago to check out the progress.
The building used to be a Wells Fargo bank, and it looks like the massive vault is staying right where it was, in the lobby – to the left as you walk in the building.
As for the restaurant – looking pretty good on the inside – should be ready to begin serving in a few weeks!
Menu looks pretty tasty – steaks, seafood, ribs, etc. And the chain was founded in Livingston!
They plan to hire “upward of 100 people” in the coming weeks; click here if you want to apply.
Also of note – Studio Montage is also open inside the old bank – on the right as you enter. I didn’t realize they had moved from their Central Avenue location.
