Clayton restaurant to close, then reopen as noodle place
CLAYTON — Artisans Cafe, 8351 N. Main St. in the Randolph Plaza, will close July 23, co-owner Pam Heintz said this morning, June 11. Another restaurant called Plate O’ Noodles will open in the same space in early August, Heintz said.
“It is with great sadness that Artisans Cafe announces that we will be closing our doors on July 23,” owners Joe and Pam Heintz said in an email to customers late Sunday night. “We deeply appreciate the loyal customers that have made our years truly joyous.”
Sales at the restaurant were down about 40 percent this year, Heintz said in an interview Monday morning. She and her husband will be the owners of the successor restaurant, which is scheduled to open Aug. 3. “Plate O’ Noodles” will feature noodle dishes from Asia, Italy, America, and elsewhere. The menu will include Mac ‘n’ Cheese and Pad Thai as well as Italian pasta dishes such as spaghetti and fettuccine with choice of marinara, Bolognese, alfredo, Parmesan and other sauce choices.
The restaurant traces its roots to 2004, when Joe and Pam Heintz purchased a restaurant called Flavors Eatery — at 725 W. Wenger Road in Englewood. They expanded the seating from 10 tables to 25 in 2006, changed the restaurant’s name to Artisans Cafe in 2007, and later moved the restaurant to its current location in Clayton. The owners also briefly operated a second restaurant at Ohio 725 and Ohio 741 near the Dayton Mall in 2009.
