Lisbet Mielke, the mind behind Eastlake’s Ravishing Radish Catering stayed in the neighborhood to open her newest venture, Ravish. Billed as the “Naughty Little Sister of Ravishing Radish Catering”, this new local restaurant serves up shareable plates in a quaint but open space located across the street from Eastlake Bar & Grill in the new Ruby Condos on Eastlake’s north end. And with west facing floor to ceiling windows, natural light floods the seating area with the warm summer sun.
With an eye towards seasonal and local, the trim but well thought out menu gives you plenty of tasty options without getting complicated. The private opening night fare included Miniature Dungeness Crab Cakes, Pigs in a Blanket and Coconut Chicken Skewers with sweet chili sauce, as well as delicious looking salads and larger plates and sandwiches that ranged from petite baguettes to mini pork sliders. You can find the menu here.
If the full meal deal isn’t what you’re after, belly up to one of the half dozen stools at the fully stocked bar and sample Ravish’s lengthy wine selection or try "The Ruby," a shaken drink with Raspberry Stoli, Grand Marnier and cranberry juice, or any other "Inspired Cocktail."
With something for everyone’s palate, Ravish is another great addition to an already great neighborhood.
Lisbet opens the doors to her new digs on Thursday, Aug. 20. More information, including contact info, can be found at Ravish’s website, RavishOnEastlake.com.
