I just got off the phone with Joe Flynn, one of the owners of The RowHouse Grille in Federal Hill (1400 S. Light St.).
He tells me they've opened up a second, more extensive kitchen upstairs as well as a second-floor dining area that will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
The restaurant opened nearly a year ago, in October 2009, with seating for 30 to 35 and a small, first-floor kitchen that turned out what Flynn described as simple, "tavern-style" fare: soups, salads, appetizers, sandwiches.
Now the place can seat 75 to 80 and offers a "gastro pub" menu, he said.
Among the menu items is a Flat Iron Steak with Chimichurri Sauce that comes with a choice of two sides for $17.
