Covington officially welcomed Lisse Steakhuis to MainStrasse Village Wednesday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The new restaurant is located in the building at 530 Main Street that was for many years the iconic Chez Nora.
Lisse Steakhuis owners have spent months remodeling and renovating and changing the entire look and feel of the place.
Co-owners Hans Philippo and Jeff Wolnitzek and General Manager Tim Weiss were drawn to the city, they say, because of its small town feel, art, architecture and food scene.
“We chose Covington because of the opportunity. Within the next couple of years, the area will explode,” Philippo said.
Lisse Steakhuis aims to provide Covington with top-of-the-line food, drinks and atmosphere.
The Dutch-inspired restaurant uses homegrown vegetables and quality meats for its menu items and features an extensive international wine selection.
Lisse Steakhuis is open Tuesday through Saturday from 4-11 p.m. and includes a scenic rooftop lounge.
