The Lobby was under the operation of chef and owner Cory Oppold, who has at least one other restaurant elsewhere and won an episode of “Chopped” in the past. The menu was a partnership between Oppold chef Kyrie McRoy, formerly of Tanque Verde Ranch.

The new restaurant was open for a little less than four months in the former Fat Noodle location (Fat Noodle has since been focusing solely on its food truck).
