Adeles On The Plaza has closed after 10
years at 425 S. Virginia, but the restaurant
will come back to life as The Chophouse on
Virginia Street.
Paul Aboud, owner of Adeles on the
Plaza, retired and sold the restaurant to
Tim Wright and Tommy Cortopassi.
Wright and Cortopassi, who have 45
combined years in the restaurant business,
say The Chophouse will be fashioned after
the famous Chop House restaurant in
Chicago and the numerous similar restaurants
that have opened in major cities across
the country.
Both men helped to open Michael Bros.
Steakhouse in Reno, but no longer have any
association with that restaurant.
The new owners said that they plan to
open The Chophouse by mid-November
after remodeling work that will include new
carpeting, new upholstery, (the removal of
the high backs on the booths) and new wall
hangings.
Sam Haas McKemy, will be executive
chef.
The concept of The Chophouse is a
steakhouse for the working person, said
Wright.
The Chophouse will be open for lunch
Monday through Friday and dinner will be
served nightly.
