Oakleaf, a new farm-to-table restaurant, may be open by May 16 at Pittsboro's Chatham Mills complex.
Chef-owner Brendan Cox, who most recently worked at Peak City Grill, describes the restaurant as "progressive American" with a farm-to-table focus. The menu will change every day. Cox and his wife, a native of Sanford, are excited about opening in Pittsboro.
"Chatham County is one of the few counties where land is turning back to farmland," he said. "It seemed a natural fit for us."
The 2,800-square-foot restaurant will have 64 table seats and eight seats at the bar. It will be located at 480 Hillsboro St., Suite 500, Pittsboro, near Chatham Marketplace.
