RALEIGH, N.C. — North Hills has announced the first restaurant planned for its new expansion project.

Kane Realty Corporation announced Tuesday that the Village Tavern, described as an "upscale, casual restaurant offering exceptional food, craft cocktails and an award-winning wine list," will be located in the Main District expansion area currently under construction.

The Village Tavern's first location opened in 1984 in Winston Salem. North Carolina native Scott Richardson founded the concept and has since opened a second Winston Salem location, plus locations in Charlotte and Greensboro.

“We have always wanted to go to Raleigh – it’s a natural extension for us,” Richardson said. “We have waited patiently looking for the perfect site in Raleigh for 15 years and we are beyond excited to be in North Hills – an exceptional place for people to gather. The synergy between Kane Realty, North Hills and Village Tavern is a perfect fit.”

The North Hills location of Village Tavern will feature an open kitchen wand indoor and outdoor dining.

“We are thrilled to welcome Village Tavern to North Hills,” Kane Realty Corporation CEO John Kane said. “Village Tavern will be an outstanding addition to Raleigh as well as a great amenity for patrons, office tenants and residents of the Main District Expansion project.”

Once construction is complete, the Main District Expansion will include a 12-story high-rise residential building with 346,000 square feet of office space and 100,000 square feet retail space on the ground floor.
