The founders are putting the finishing touches on renovations inside the space, although Gifford said they are still awaiting approval of Silver Slipper’s liquor license, which will likely come in about two months.

Preliminary plans call for operating for dinner Thursday through Saturday, plus a Sunday brunch, serving a French Bistro-inspired small-plates menu that includes a fresh-fish preparation, local cheeses and breads, salads and charcuterie boards, Gifford said. The founders plan to keep their kitchen open later than many other restaurants, perhaps until midnight or 1 a.m., Gifford said.
The wine list would be focused on international wines, with selections from France and Italy, but also some more obscure sources, such as Greece and the republic of Georgia, Gifford said. The beer list will likely include a couple of local IPAs and sours, but will also proudly feature Miller Lite, the co-founders said.
“We want to offer some things you know and love, and also offer some things that you’ve never heard of before,” Fink said.

Silver Slipper will have seating for about 24 with social distancing. Plans call for outdoor seating to be added for next spring and summer, Gifford said.
