After I ate at Bittersweet for this week’s review, I stopped by chef-owner Olav Peterson’s old stomping grounds, Bistro One, where owner Alex Waters has turned his three-year-old restaurant into a solid neighborhood joint with a menu full of Southern comfort food.
And Bistro One is about to add another comfortable amenity: a hanging garden patio.
“We’re taking over the parking lot in the back,” explains Jeremy Stinson, Bistro One’s general manager. “We’ll repave and put up posts, where we’ll hang vine-y plants and planters with usable herbs.”
That produce will supplement the restaurant’s rooftop greenhouse, which produces fruits and vegetables for many of the dishes coming out of the kitchen.
When news happens, Westword is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
In addition to creating more room for growing food, the patio will also provide space for 45 more seats.
Plans for the project have been approved, Stinson says, and the new space should be open in four to five weeks.
