|
Bis on Main is proud to welcome back one of Washington's premier wineries, Andrew Will, for a pair of wine dinners the evenings of Sunday, May 2 and Monday, May 3, 2010.
Long considered one of Washington's premier wineries, Andrew Will’s single vineyard bottlings are not only amongst the best wines produced in our state, but also showcase the differences between some of Washington's top vineyard sites such as Ciel du Cheval and Champoux.
As always, our wine dinner will pair seven Andrew Will wines with a six-course dinner prepared by our Chef, Christopher Peterson. This dinner will feature Andrew Will's current releases including the 2007 Two Blondes, 2007 Ciel du Cheval, 2007 Champoux and 2007 Sorella. We will also feature their 2007 Sangiovese, 2008 Pinot Gris and a pre release 2008 Cabernet Blend from 4 different vineyards.
Each evening's dinner will be hosted by Andrew Will’s winery manager and assistant winemaker, David Oldham.
In addition, this wine dinner will become a part of our Bis on Main cookbook, due out in October of this year. The book will include many photographs from the dinner, as well as all the recipes.
Cost for the dinner will be $110 per person and seating is limited. The dinners start promptly at 5.30pm on Sunday, May 2 and at 6.30pm on Monday, May 3.

BIS ON MAIN REMODEL COMPLETED
As many of you know by now, Bis on Main underwent a major remodel the summer and fall of 2006. We served the last dinner in our original space on September 4 2006. six weeks (and one day) later we reopened with a completely remodeled restaurant with double the seating, an intimate bar and lounge, as well as a second/private dining room for up to 40 guests. Last spring we finished our facelift with a new awning, refacing and sign.
The final result has been a tremendous success and a source of pride for all of us here. We have maintained the intimacy and personal touch that has always been our hallmark, while greatly expanding the services we have to offer our customers.
BIS BAR AND LOUNGE
Our new bar and lounge is open all day, Monday through Friday from 11.30 am until closing with continuous food service all day. Saturdays we open at 5.30 pm and Sunday at 5 pm. Our full menu is always available at the bar or in the lounge during lunch and dinner hours, and the Bar Menu in between and after.
PRIVATE DINING
The other big addition is our second dining room which can be reserved for private functrions up to 40 seated guests (more for standing receptions and cocktail parties.)
The room is equipped with a state of the art projection system, computer connections and a pair of beautiful walnut doors that can be closed for privacy.
COMPLIMENTARY VALET PARKING
Complimentary valet parking is available to our lunch and dinner guests Monday through Saturday in the parking lot directly behind the restaurant. The parking lot entrance is on 102nd Ave SE on the south side of Bis on Main. There is a rear entrance allowing convenient access to the restaurant.
NORTHWEST ART
A rotating selection of modern Northwest Art fill the walls of our dining room. Artists such as Lois Silver, Carolyn Krieg, Joe Max Emminger, Tyson Grumm, Fulhencio Amaya, Marianna de Hart and Selene Santucci are on display. Some pieces are available for purchase.
ROMANTIC DINING
Did you know? Our customers voted us the Bellevue Downtown Association's Haute Pick for the Most romantic Restaurant three years in a row.
THE RESTAURANT
Bis on Main was opened in Semptember 1998 by Joe Vilardi and Michel Fredj. Bis means 'two, twice or another in French and Italian and seemed the natural choice for a Parisian and an Italian-American who had been friends for nearly 30 years. They are still best of friends, but one year after opening, Joe took full ownership of the restaurant.
Our restaurant is run with a dedication to quality and customer service. The food, intimacy and personal service of Bis set us apart from the corporate dining scene. Our dining room is perfect for special occasions, business dinners or a quick meal. We can handle groups up to 70 and the restaurant is available for private parties. we offer a full premium bar and an award winning wine list with over 300 selections from California, the Northwest, Italy and France.
THE STAFF
Our kitchen is run by Chef Christopher Peterson, now in his seventh year and the key ingredient in establishing Bis on Main as the premiere fine dining restaurant in Bellevue and the Eastside. Our great kitchen staff is rounded out by Sous-Chefs David Olson and Shawn Martin, cooks Ernesto Molina, Angel Flores, Ben Blanchard, George Stevenson, Jesus Galvan-Molina, Taylor Cox, and Royal Gunter.
Our front of the house crew includes Right Hand Man Tim Shea, Richard Hager, Greg Abajian, Mara Culhane, Jeff Thomas, Anthony Hodge, Kristen Jaglois, Katherine Walker, Lance Winn, Nels Christensen, Myles Burroughs, Ted Savage, Jose Roa, and Crhistian Roa.
All of these nice folks receive daily beatings to maintain moral.
