A new Mooresville restaurant is on the way from the Kindreds
Restaurateurs chef Joe and Katy Kindred have a new downtown Mooresville restaurant in the works, they announced via Instagram on Thursday.
The new spot — called Deepwell — is opening in partnership with Craig Deihl, the Kindred Restaurants corporate chef who is known as a “charcuterie king” and will serve as executive chef and co-owner.
The Charlotte-area food-and-drink powerhouses with James Beard and Michelin recognition are also making repairs to their namesake Davidson restaurant, Kindred, after a small fire led to water damage. The estimated timeline for reopening is about 12 weeks, roughly when Deepwell is set to open, Katy Kindred said in the video.
“It’s kind of crazy that you know we’re opening a restaurant on Main Street, and it’s very similar layout. It’s in an old historic building,” Joe Kindred said.
What to expect at Deepwell
Deepwell plans call for partnering with North Carolina’s W8 Ranch, which grows Wagyu beef, and dry-aging the meat.
The name is likely a nod to early settlers in the Mooresville area who grew together into a community known as “Deep Well,” which took its name from a large natural well in the area.
“It’s going to be sort of a New Orleans steakhouse, if you can imagine that,” Katy Kindred said.
Diners can also expect the Kindred touch on the restaurant’s interior, most recently seen at Albertine in uptown Charlotte. That restaurant features luxe touches of marble, velvet and original artwork.
“Katie has absolutely crushed the design,” Joe Kindred said.
“We can’t wait to serve you both here at Kindred and at Deepwell. And just for all of you who have reached out to support over the past few weeks, you literally have gotten us through this time,” he continued.
“There’s been a lot of highs and lows, and lots of weird emotions, and, you know, crazy things happening. But the greater Charlotte community, the Lake Norman community, all the restauranteurs, the farmers, the people that have reached out, the chefs around the country that have reached out — it doesn’t go unnoticed,” he said.
“We’re just so thankful for you, and you know, a time like this is truly defining of a restaurant group. And what better community could we have in the greater Charlotte area to support us, so we’re so thankful for you guys.”
