Upscale steakhouse lands prime space at Rock Hill project

ROCK HILL, S.C. — An upscale steakhouse will serve as the anchor tenant at The Power House in Rock Hill.

Epic Prime — a new concept for restaurateur Elliott Close and the team behind Epic Chophouse — should make its debut in early to mid-summer.

“It’ll be something Rock Hill hasn’t seen before that’s for sure — and it’s something Rock Hill is ready for,” Close says. “We’re always trying to read the market and do what the market is telling us.”

Epic Prime is a key piece to The Sherbert Group’s vision for The Power House, says Tara Sherbert, CEO.

“We have full confidence this is the correct fit and the fit we were patiently waiting for,” she says.

The $18 million project is part of Rock Hill’s University Center. The Sherbert Group is transforming a 58,000-square-foot building there into a community hub. It dates to 1929 and served as the power plant for the mill campus.

The restaurant will be tucked into a space known as the grotto.

Epic Prime will occupy just over 5,000 square feet. Historic remnants of the plant, including concrete structures and exposed brick, will provide character. The 1,350-square-foot patio will hug the smokestack, Sherbert says.
