Harrisburg's newest restaurant, Eleve, sells out entire inventory during Grand Opening

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Rezul -- Harrisburg's newest restaurant, Eleve, located on the corner of Sixth and Reily Streets, boasted a grand opening which sold out its entire inventory during its recent Grand Opening.

Co-owners Tiffiney Portee (of Harrisburg) and Tina Davis Hunter (of Johnstown, PA) have prepared for this opening for several months, but even they were completely surprised at the turnout.

"We were hoping people would come, but never imagined more than 300 would show up," said Portee.

"It truly was a phenomenal experience," Tina Davis Hunter said.

The event did not come without its hiccups: the overwhelming response caused a backlog in the kitchen; however, several family members and close friends stepped up at the last minute. As its Facebook page puts it:

Managers became servers. Family members became food runners. Everyone jumped in wherever they were needed. At one point, our staff were each serving 7 to 8 tables while helping keep the restaurant running. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't perfect. But it was something beautiful…
