Nipper's Beach Grille opens May 16th! We thought it would be great to show off some images of the project to end our week of blog postings (three has to be some kind of record, at least for us).
Chef Kenny Gilbert is the Executive Chef and Part Owner, you can read more about his impressive bio on the Nipper"s website.
Nipper's is a remodel project in Beach Marine on Beach Blvd. in Jacksonville Beach. The 9,300 square foot space has a 2,300 SF kitchen, with the remainder of the space as dining, bar, private party and support rooms. There is also a large exterior deck space next to the restaurant which also has a bar. Design and construction lasted ten months.
The exterior received a complete face lift to help the building pay homage to it's Bahamian inspiration. The interior carries the the theme throughout with bright color and lots of natural light. We even got to use recycled barn wood and although it came from the Midwest, it still adds a lot of charm.
Like all remodel projects it was never not interesting, but we had a great team to work with. We are very happy and excited about how great the project looks. Cote Renard Architecture (Nicholas Renard) worked in conjunction with Studio M Interior Design(Marsha Faulkner) to complete the design. It was built under the supervision of Benchmark Commercial Group Inc (Jonathan Plumb).
