The restaurant has been used as a side project by a successful local chef whose main pursuit is his other local business. Over the past 5 years, under the same ownership, it has been alternately billed as a Tapas Bar, a Noodle House and a Bistro, depending on the whim of the owner.

This is a top-notch facility with a large back kitchen and prep area originally set up as a full-scale bakery operation. Currently they serve Tapas. The cooking counter in the front kitchen is set up as a Chinese range (105 BTU) with flexibility to be converted to griddles or boilers for relatively inexpensive cost.

Front and back kitchens have hood space totaling 22 feet. Both hoods and the grease trap are in excellent condition. The front kitchen is 11x19, open to the dining room for the aspiring celebrity chef, and the back kitchen is 19x26, amply designed for high-volume catering or bakery production, including a 9x6 walk-in. 

Serving areas include a wrap around coffee and wine bar that open into the 18x36 main dining room, plus an adjoining 18 foot-long bistro seating section. The bar is equipped with a full Perlic back bar, a bar fridge and an Espresso machine. Total seating is approximately 50, plus room for 10 at the bar. Sidewalk seating is also a possibility if a new owner would like to add outside service.  

Major Improvements are planned in the immediate neighborhood, including the expansion of the Safeway anchor store to include a food court which should bring additional foot-traffic to the area.

The lease is excellent with 3 years left at just under $4,000 per month, including NNN and CAM charges, with built-in CPI adjustments, and a 5 year option.

Staff consists of 1-2 cooks, 1 prep dishwasher, plus 2-3 service people, and the owner generally doesn’t spend more than 4-6 hours on any given day at the restaurant.

Sales are currently averaging $30K per month with minimal supervision and limited hours. When breakfast, lunch and dinner have been served, volume has historically been more in the range of $50K per month.  These figures have been achieved without fully exploring the possibilities for growing the restaurant to its full potential, and the asking price has been set based on the quality and strength of the facility to support a much higher volume of business under the focused direction of a new owner.
