Pago On Main is the second location for Scott Evans‘ farm to table restaurant. This sophomoric effort built on the many successes of the 9th and 9th original. The Main Street location in the Felt building completely re-imagines the space; which was once upon a time home to J Dawg’s.
Gone is the minimalistic tube steak menu. Instead, you’ll discover an arrestingly appealing space, dominated by the exhibition kitchen. Located in the center of dining room it affords a 360 degree view of the action no matter where you’re seated.
The general vibe is in stark contrast to the high energy tempo of Main Street’s bar scene and the menu naturally follows the same farm-to-table mentality of the original. There’s Morgan Valley Lamb, Clifford Family Farm, Frog Bench Farms, Stoneground and many more familiar local names. Expect this one to get popular real quick.
