Port Orchard’s Freshest Dining Experience!

This Week at the Bistro -
This week we've got fresh Dover Sole, in Herbed Breadcrumbs - simple, classic, and light. And Neah Bay Red Rockfish, baked with the Dijon Crust that's been getting raves lately. Both of these will be in limited amounts for the weekend - expect us to run out by Saturday!  

The weekend fish is Hawaiian Blue Marlin, which we'll be grilling with an Orange-Onion Salsa Fresca. And of course the beautiful Alaskan King Salmon that's at it's peak right now!  

We're also making some Mushroom Canneloni for Friday (Saturday if it lasts!), with Wild Mushrooms, Ricotta and Spinach, served with a vermouth-infused Bechamel Sauce (we already had the pasta sheets!).  

The Ravioli is Roasted Garlic, and we'll do that one in a sauce of Tomatoes, Cream, Basil and those cute little Sweet Peppers!   

I'm sure many of you have heard about the oil spill in Penn Cove which will make Penn Cove Mussels hard to get for a few weeks. Well, we've been getting our mussels from Kamilche Sea farms down in Totten Inlet, so we're not affected (unless it shakes up the whole mussel industry for awhile!). Don't forget that our popular Coconut Mussels are also available at the Farmer's Market Lunch!     

OK, it's almost summer and we all know about my screen door! I strongly suspect the person who promised to do it last June isn't going to get to it! So for anyone out there that's handy (and Qualified!!), I'd love to trade gift certificates for a new screen door (installed). I know we have a lot of skilled handypersons among our customers, so email me with some ideas and bids, and let's see what we can come up with!

Farmer's Market Lunch
Saturday 11:30 -4:00 

We'll be serving our small plates (most between $5-7) of appetizers, seasonal seafoods and local produce (as it comes available!). It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend, so come down, stroll the Market and the Waterfront, then enjoy lunch and a favorite beverage at the Bistro!
A Bay Street Bistro Cheese Shop?

Has everyone heard about what's going on at the old Slip 45 Building on Bay Street in downtown? Plans are in the works to renovate it into an indoor artisan/local food market, and we've signed on to open a small Cheese Shop if it goes through. I visualize some local WA cheeses as well as classics from elsewhere, a rotating selection that we can announce in emails. I'm also looking at stocking fresh pasta and raviolis by the pound, again with a rotating seasonal selection. As well as other gourmet items (and tips on how to use them!). There would also be a Carter's Chocolates space, for Ice Cream and Candies, so you'll be able to get a cone and stroll the waterfront. Other planned tenants include local shellfish, perhaps a butcher, a coffee company, hopefully some produce, etc...  

We'll keep everybody abreast of its progress, and watch the Kitsap Sun and Port Orchard Independent for more info. Community support is how we'll get this done!
