"The Patio" in Manette, Bremerton - And this used to be a laundromat?

Sign at The Patio in Manette, Bremerton WA That's right - a laundromat. The building sat on a corner in lower Manette unused for many years in the 1990's and early 2000's, until Jeff and Michelle Hecker took over and redesigned the building into the swanky restaurant and happy hour hotspot that it is now.

The Patio opened in May of 2008. Located right next to the Manette Bridge in Downtown Manette, the restaurant is small in winter, with very limited indoor seating. However, that also allowed us very attentive and personal service. In warmer months, tables on the patio are used, doubling the seating area.

"Serving 'New American' classic comfort food with a twist" is the description from the website, but I would go even farther than that when describing the scrumptious edible offerings at Th The Patio, a restaurant in Manette, Bremerton, WA e Patio in Manette, Bremerton.

My substitute date (hubby's at sea again so, my poor Dad...) had a nice steak that is only sometimes found on the menu. Always ask about the specials! I had the small plate Grilled Mediterranean Platter. Everything on the Grilled Mediterranean Platter is fabulous! And check with the waitstaff, but I believe it is vegetarian. We finished our dinner with a nice bottle of "The Show" Cabernet. I went home quite full and happy.

Other options at dinner include Seasonal Ravioli (this week it was lobster), Flat Iron Steak with herb reduction butter, or a Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Breast. There are also several vegetarian meal options, and the cook and waitstaff seem very willing to work with you if you have a special diet.

Repurposing and redesigning that old laundromat has had a huge impact on the face and feel of downtown Manette, Bremerton. The Heckers had a vision of what Manette could be and is becoming. The Patio has "raised the bar" for style in Manette.

The Patio is open for lunch and dinner daily. Breakfast is served Monday through Saturday. And the best meal of all? Sunday Brunch is served from 10 am to 3 pm. That's our next culinary excursion. So far, I give The Patio a thumbs up. I can't wait to take my husband there!

Marlene, we had lunch "on the patio" one Saturday afternoon in Oct and fell in love with the place!Their flat iron steak melts in your mouth and the fish is excellent. Actually, we've not had a bad meal there! On Dec 30th, 40 of us celebrated "the Silver Anniversary of my 25th Birthday" at The Patio. The food, the service, location and coziness all made for a great event!

Lane - When you do, dinner at The Patio is my treat!

Roberta - Your hubby actually invited me to that, but I was not able to make it. Love the place, you have good taste! But then I already knew that....
