The Hub offers comfortable, casual dining with "good food, good atmosphere, good service, at a good price."
Owners Kate and Matt Schilling (Kate's the manager, Matt's the chef) wanted to create a relaxed, casual and fun atmosphere for locals and tourist alike.
The restaurant is named for a popular eatery that operated downtown in the 1950s and its location was home to another popular dining establishment, the Capitol.
The completely refurbished interior offers seating for the lone diner or groups. The walls, painted a soft yellow and vibrant red, are covered in historic photographs of a bustling downtown. The back room seats up to 30 people — great for a night out with friends or a holiday party.
"This has been our dream. We're restaurant people. We always used to say 'If I had my own place, I'd do things differently.' So, one day we just got to thinking about it and it just — bang! — happened. It all happened so fast but the idea and the menu were already engrained in us. We just knew," Kate Schilling said.
