Dear Stapleton,Seeing a three-year-old restaurant as an established neighborhood institution can be difficult...until you consider the massive changes transforming Stapleton and other parts of the city. New shopping centers like Eastbridge have very little actual "shopping," relying almost entirely on the service industry to draw commerce. And trendy new venues like the nearby Stanley Marketplace are also devoted heavily to food and drink.
These letters are always hard to write especially when they are built upon so much emotion. We started something special at the Bistro on May 14th 2014 we started a need for the community on this corner in the Middle of the Hood and for 3 years we provided an atmosphere for the people of this area to chill and just be adults. Where the community can come together and enjoy food, wine and spirits By Chef Anthony F. Ramos and Cocktails By Jonathan Benson. We have grown because of Stapleton and this is why we love all of you.
Unfortunately our show is coming to an end!
The opening of the Stanly Market Place and the East Bridge Project it was too much too fast for the community to support. We do want to say this “We fully Support these businesses” Especially East Bridge, Cativella by Eilse Wiggins whom is amazing Chef and friend of mine her food is amazing if you have not been there go don’t miss out. Cativella would be a great place for our wine and cocktail community to hang their hats.
