A Practical Look at Our Future Restaurant
Back in November last year, The Oxford Hills announced that Eric Boyar, owner and chef of sixthirtynine (located in Woodstock, Ontario), and his wife and co-owner, Jennifer Boyar, agreed to bring their talents to The Oxford Hills.
The question remains: how will this collaboration work once we actually open our doors? A practical look at both venues will provide clarity…
The Oxford Hills & sixthirtynine
For those who know Eric, Jennifer and their fine-dining restaurant, sixthirtynine – don’t fret – sixthirtynine remains fully operational and will continue to be! The kitchen will be under the lead of Sous Chef Sam Vandenberg, who has been a part of the sixthirtynine brigade for 7 years. Chef Eric will oversee menu development for sixthirtynine, while spending most of his time starting up the kitchen at The Oxford Hills.
Both venues will offer menus with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, which has been at the forefront of Chef Eric’s food philosophy. Guests of either restaurant can expect a number of options to satisfy their tastes – whether it be artisanal handhelds and fun fare at The Oxford Hills’ turn (i.e. our future halfway point, Theo’s), wood fire grilled premium steak dinners with your choice of accompaniments, or a tasting experience with shareable dishes.
With regards to Front of House management, owner Jennifer Boyar will remain in charge at sixthirtynine. On top of that, Jenn will be working closely with the hospitality department at The Oxford Hills to ensure a high level of customer service and guest satisfaction. At The Oxford Hills, Katie McLeod, our brand-new Front House Manager, will be taking the lead. Katie will be an integral part of providing hospitality at The Oxford Hills, bringing much knowledge and dedication to excellence in customer experience.
Fine-Dining at its Best
Both venues are committed to creating refined dining experiences and providing top-tier service. Despite the challenges COVID-19 is posing on both the construction and restaurant industry, The Oxford Hills is excited to become a sought-after destination for local residents and beyond. Our entire team is devoted to creating memorable dining experiences with the power to draw visitors to Oxford County.
