ASHEVILLE - A veritable complex of food and drink is coming to Asheville's historic S&W Cafeteria building on Patton Avenue.

S&W Artisanal will be an eatery and market, with an upscale restaurant on the mezzanine and a casual eatery downstairs. The restaurant is slated for a December opening.

Behind S&W Artisanal is restaurant designer Theodore Kondylis, restaurateur Sakis Elefantis and local businessmen Douglas and Kenneth Ellington, the great-nephews of the architect Douglas Ellington, who designed the S&W building in 1929.

The new restaurant will include a bakery, two cocktail bars, a coffee bar, private dining and a retail market offering local food items and specialty imported products from Greece, according to a press release from the restaurant group.

The owners will design the menu and concept with Greek sensibilities, and will have a partnership with Wise Greece, an international non-profit celebrating the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, while giving back to local and overseas communities.

More details are forthcoming.
