Open year-round, the restaurant at Market Hill reopened with a sleek new look and feel.
Duo reopened with a sleek new look and more comfortable seating.
The restaurant at Market Hill has always been the place to come in from the fields, make a plate, have a cold beer or glass of wine, and sit for a while, meeting new people and sharing stories around a family-style table. In its early days, it suited the needs of feeding people from- scratch meals to fuel their shopping adven- tures. You could depend on Paul Michael to be there, at lunch or dinner, pulling up a seat at the table and making sure everyone was well taken care of (something you can still depend on today – he’s probably there right
now for lunch service).
But if you know Paul, he’s always coming up with new and better ways to do things at Market Hill. And recently, the restaurant un- derwent a massive transformation – a total renovation from top to bottom in less than a week! – and Duo Modern was created. It’s a fantastic update to the restaurant you al- ready know and love. It still exists as a gath- ering place where you can expect the best hospitality from people who treat you like family. It just looks and feels much more ele- vated, like fine dining without the fuss. Dark floors and walls, fine art, large chandeliers and a new bar are some of the eye-catching details. But the food is really the star of the show, now presented in a space that match- es the creativity of the cuisine.
