Antietam's Gratiot Avenue space resurrected as seafood, burger restaurant

Le Culture Cafe is leasing from Greg Holm, owner of the Detroit buildings and restaurant Antietam, Holm confirmed to Crain's. He said in a message he is still looking to sell his property on Gratiot, but did not respond to a question on price.

The incoming restaurant's owner, Drew Matthews, said he's aiming for a Nov. 9 opening. He deferred additional comment to a chef who wasn't immediately available.

Le Culture is taking up around 2,000 square feet across the ground floor of both storefronts.
