The popular Oregon District restaurant will reopen this week

The restaurant was acquired in 2021 by Dallas, Texas-based restaurant management company The One Esca Group, which owns and manages more than $18 million in annual sales with 14 locations in Texas and Ohio. Spaghetti Warehouse in Dayton, Akron and Toledo; Corner kitchen in Dayton; and Mad for Chicken in Columbus are One Esca Group Ohio locations, while Texas locations include Blackfriar Pub, Sugarbacon, Dog Haus, Taste of Chicago, Mad For Chicken and Tequila Delicious.

An Esca Group owner, Michael Kim, made the investment in the belief that downtown Dayton is experiencing a renaissance that he hopes will continue to make it a vibrant dining and entertainment destination for the area.

Dinner service will be offered Wednesday through Sunday with a late night bar menu available Friday and Saturday nights. Corner Kitchen will also launch its weekend brunch on Saturday and Sunday starting this weekend.
