CHARLOTTE — Husband-and-wife team Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown have unveiled the name of their new high-end restaurant in Dilworth. They are also breaking down plans about what to expect.
Leluia Hall should open by early summer 2023 at 1829 Cleveland Ave. — formerly home to Bonterra, which closed in December after 22 years. Demolition on that 5,254-square-foot space is slated to begin in September.
The name is a mashup of hallelujah and alleluia, giving a nod to the building’s history as a church. A church has been on that site since 1896, with the current brick building dating to 1915.
“We’re looking forward to seeing the name, decor, menu direction and story all come together for a new, unique dining experience in Charlotte,” Tonidandel says.
The Tonidandel-Brown Restaurant Group and its partners paid $3.8 million for that 0.51-acre parcel earlier this year.
