Duo behind Flipside Café to open FM Eatery in Fort Mill

The husband-and-wife team behind Flipside Café are expanding their portfolio with a new restaurant in Fort Mill.

Chefs Amy and Jon Fortes plan to open FM Eatery — also known as the Fortes Mill Eatery — in December at 217 Main St.

That space was formerly home to Local Dish. The family-owned- and-operated restaurant closed in May after a decade.

The Forteses have leased that building.

Plans call for a 54-seat restaurant with an upscale bar.
