A familiar Salmon Arm dining location has a new name, a new look, a new menu and more.

Monday, June 7, marked the official opening of the Nineteen05 Kitchen & Raw Bar at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Located where the Sand Bar Restaurant used to be, over the past five months the interior was completely renovated to offer a bright, modern, open look.

The adjacent Don Cherry鈥檚 Sports Grill also received some cosmetic improvements, as well as a pizza oven.

Red Seal Chef Sascha Hillebrand, who currently owns restaurants across B.C., including three at Prestige properties in Smithers, Nelson and Cranbrook, will oversee operations at Nineteen05 along with business partner, Jeremy Roth.

鈥淭he resort鈥檚 amazing waterfront location deserves a restaurant that is as beautiful as its backdrop,鈥� comments Hillebrand in a June 7 media release. 鈥淚鈥檓 very excited to showcase our new restaurant, food and drinks to the local crowd, as well as to the thousands of visitors who stay and dine at the resort every year.

鈥淚 think the locals will be especially blown away by the incredible transformation that Prestige鈥檚 design team has achieved, and we hope to become the new hot spot in town.鈥�
