Company Behind Sueño and Tender Mercy to Launch New Concept Later This Year

According to a recent Dayton Business Journal article, the team behind Tender Mercy and Sueño are bringing a new concept to the community called Three Birds. The eatery will be located at the former home of Carmel’s Southwest Bar and Grill, at 1025 Shroyer Rd, in Dayton.

Dayton hospitality concept development and design firm The Idea Collective, led by owner and managing partner Chris Dimmick, has had a hand in designing restaurants across the country and locally operates Sueño, which offers Mexican cuisine, and cocktail bar Tender Mercy. Three Birds will offer a new American menu, think steaks, salads and smashburgers, along with appetizers and entrees that will allow the culinary team to explore their creativity.

Plans are in place to renovate and expand the former Carmel’s space, which will be just under 5,000 square feet when completed, plus a patio space that will nearly double the restaurant’s seating capacity. The eatery is slated to open by the end of the year, with the patio to open the following spring.
