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.
