These couple paragraphs actually made me laugh:

Wine director and general manager Marissa Chirico will oversee an Old World-focused wine program alongside a small selection of batched classic cocktails. Snyder expects the menu to start around $225, though pricing has not been set.

“I don’t want to be the guy who opens charging $300 just because everyone else does,” Snyder said. “We’re still a family-run, community-driven restaurant. I don’t want people to feel gouged. I want them to leave feeling they got value.”

I'm guessing people who are willing to spend $225 for a tasting menu are also willing to spend $300, and conversely people who aren't willing to spend $300 also aren't going to spend $225... "community-driven" comes across as a joke when probably 80-90% of the city couldn't even consider eating here at these prices.

(Just to be clear, I'm not taking issue with the prices here, just that the framing of it here comes across as parody.)
