From the Mountain Xpress:
A new restaurant and bar is coming to town. Storm, a swanky, sexy rum bar in deep jewel tones, leather and teakwood, will open at 125 S. Lexington Ave. in the space previously occupied by Vigne in Lexington Station. Storm’s small plates menu looks impressive, with a selection of ceviche, including scallop with mango, mint and pomegranate and another of halibut and jalapeño. Other menu items include duck empanadas, and calamari with Sriracha aioli. A number of different sliders with hand-cut fries will be available as well, and the kitchen staff will grind their own meat.
The project is being undertaken by Tom Israel, David LeBoutillier and silent partner Jerry Scheer, all of whom have a considerable amount of restaurant experience under their belts.

Hopefully the owners of the space will now pay their association dues they owe from last 2 years.
The prospective restaurant owners of Storm may want to look into the fact that owners of that space within the Lexington Station property have not paid their Lexington Station dues in two years. The owners of the space, Dr. Steve Stranges (well-known physician in town) and Guadalupe Chavarria (a well-known hair salon owner in town) owe over $7k in dues to Lexington Station. A lien is on the property.
Sounds good! Looking forward to trying it!
Tom Israel is a really great guy. His involvement/partnership with the Pack Tavern has been invaluable to that establishment… I look forward to seeing how this place works out!
Story is by Mackensy Lunsford of the Mountain Xpress; not sure how she got a peek at the menu.
How did you see the menu? Again no website for a new restaurant. What is the deal? That should be the FIRST thing a new place does!!
