0/8 Seafood Grill becomes Twisted Cork
January 12, 2010
A new “Northwest Bistro” concept for Twisted Cork is scheduled to unveil early February. The restaurant will be taking over the space currently occupied by 0/8 Seafood Grill, and will evolve its wine bar offerings by providing a more casual dining experience where both adults and families can enjoy affordable Northwest cuisine.
Matt Bomberger, owner of Solstice Restaurant Group, which also manages STIR Martini + Raw Bar, decided to introduce the more relaxed dining experience in response to changes in the booming downtown Bellevue dining scene.
“0/8 Seafood Grill was competing with an incredible number of eastside fine dining restaurants, however our wine bar, – which is decidedly more casual, has always drawn a loyal and lively crowd,” said Bomberger. “Evolving the Twisted Cork concept to offer a bistro style menu based on local ingredients allows us to fill a niche – an Eastside destination where our guests experience the best of Northwest wine, cuisine, and service; all while keeping a familiar name.”
The interior of the restaurant will largely stay the same however menu offerings change to reflect a broader variety of Northwest dishes. Menu pricing will also change, with entrées priced from $15 to $24, and small plates priced from $6 to $13. Loyal patrons of Twisted Cork can be rest assured that the restaurant’s popular and award-winning Washington and Northwest focused wine program will remain the same.
Twisted Cork is located in the Hyatt Regency. For more information and menus visit twistedcork.com.
