Williamston residents will soon be able to enjoy an upscale meal while gazing out over the Red Cedar River, thanks to a $1 million renovation that transformed a rundown 1929 building into an American bistro.
Sue Nichani and Scott Simmons are putting the final touches on their 310 W. Grand River restaurant, the Riverhouse, and hope to open their doors in the beginning of March.
“Everything we did looks like it’s been there since the original building was constructed,” Nichani says.
The property has a gazebo to accommodate larger events, a full service bar and a cigar bar.
Nichani and Simmons worked hard to create landscaping and an outdoor atmosphere that will allow diners enjoy the Red Cedar River while enjoying the new American cuisine on the patio.
“It’s probably about the only place around where you can sit on the river and enjoy it,” says Nichani.
