Tavolàta and Rubinstein Bagels to Open New Locations at Porch + Park Mixed-Use Building in Downtown Redmond

Award-Winning Italian Restaurant and Growing Hometown Bagel Shop Pursue Eastside Expansions at MainStreet Property Group’s New Project Across from Redmond’s Popular Downtown Park

MainStreet Property Group LLC (www.mspgroupllc.com) (“MainStreet”), a full-service Kirkland-based real estate developer, today announced that they have secured two tenants at the ‘Porch + Park’ mixed-use building in downtown Redmond, Seattle restauranter Ethan Stowell Restaurant (ESR) Group (www.ethanstowellrestaurants.com) and fast-growing hometown bagel shop Rubinstein Bagels (www.rubinsteinbagels.com).?

Located at 16001 Redmond Way in Redmond, Wash. in the new 150,000+ sq. ft., six-story Porch + Park mixed-use building, ESR’s Italian restaurant Tavolàta Redmond will open within a 4,500sq. ft. ground floor space and adjacent Rubinstein Bagels in a 2,680 sq. ft. space that both open onto Redmond’s Downtown Park, with grand openings slated for Winter 2022.?

“We were already excited to be the first to introduce Ethan Stowell Restaurant group to the Eastside with Ballard Pizza Co. in Woodinville – so we are beyond thrilled to introduce another one of ESR’s beloved Pacific Northwest concepts to Downtown Redmond with Tavolàta Redmond,” said MainStreet Property Group President Kelly Price.

“Along with the addition of the delicious new Rubinstein Bagels shop, we think we have a winning combination of new eateries at our Porch + Park project,” continued Price. “The new Downtown Park is a signature destination — and with these two new dining additions overlooking the park, the community will have more ways to gather and celebrate in this growing, vibrant community.”

“We’ve been looking for the right location to grow our presence on the Eastside, and Porch + Park is the perfect building and location for this expansion,” said ESR Group Chef Ethan Stowell. “We always love working with the MainStreet team and believe locating at the end of the park is spectacular — and we can’t think of a better community to join than the growing hub like Downtown Redmond.”

“Porch + Park is in a great location. The Redmond area is so vivacious, and we’ve experienced a long-standing craving from folks on the Eastside to experience our bagels locally,” said Rubinstein Bagels Owner Andrew Rubinstein. “We’re so excited to not only extend our reach to the Redmond community — but also to increase our delivery capacity to Rubinstein fans across the Eastside.”

Tavolàta Redmond: All About the Past

rom Rigatoni to Tonnarelli and Spaghetti to Linguine — Tavolàta is ESR Group’s most established restaurant concept with numerous other locations throughout the Pacific Northwest, including its flagship in Belltown, in Seattle (Capitol Hill and Stone Way), and Spokane, WA.

As the restaurant group’s second location on the Eastside, Tavolàta Redmond will offer a menu centered on pasta that is handcrafted daily featuring fresh Pacific Northwest ingredients along with house favorites like the Berkshire Pork Chop, Smoked Fish Bruschetta, and Whole Grilled Branzino.

Focused on creating a positive and energetic restaurant, the new location will feature dark wood in a dimly-lit, modern space that’s great for cocktails and wine over generous bowls of pasta. Tavolàta Redmond will also feature its namesake, a long indoor communal table, as well as include an outdoor patio overlooking the park that is expected to be popular year-round for happy hour and group dining.?

Rubinstein Bagels: Delicious Handcrafted Bagels at First Eastside Location

As a newer local company specializing in classic bagels and bagel sandwiches made with 100 percent, organic flour grown in the Pacific Northwest, ESR partner Rubinstein Bagels offers delicious fresh-baked bagels with daily options from Poppy Seed and Garlic to Salted Rosemary and Cacio e Pepe along with a variety of schmears and toppings.?

Recently named one of the ‘Best Bagels in America’ by Food & Wine Magazine, the new Rubinstein Bagels space will feature bright and airy design elements within a fresh and inviting space. Outdoor seating will also be available for those that wish to have breakfast, lunch, or craft coffee overlooking the park.

As the company’s third brick and mortar spot but first on the Eastside — Rubinstein will be open from 7:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. daily offering freshly-brewed Olympia Coffee and a full suite of highly-popular breakfast sandwiches — including fan favorites like the Open-Faced Lox, Chorizo & Egg, and Egg & Avocado.

Rubinstein is also considering a beer/taproom concept for the space later in the day, with a curated selection of beers on tap along with a selection of pretzels and pastrami sandwiches — as well as Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas for the morning and brunch crowds.?

“The greatest complement between these two concepts is how they will serve the same community during different parts of the day — with Rubinstein Bagels focusing on breakfast into lunch, and Tavolàta catering to the dinner and drinks crowd,” continued Stowell.

Both new locations will also offer takeout and delivery via their websites.

Porch + Park: Experiential Living in Redmond

Slated for completion in December 2022, the six-story Porch + Park mixed-use building is located across from Redmond’s Downtown Park and two blocks from Sounds Transit’s Downtown Redmond Light Rail Station — creating a prime gateway entrance to a key area of Downtown Redmond.

Featuring 106 apartments, an expansive rooftop deck overlooking Downtown Redmond, over 9,500 sq. ft. of street-level restaurant space, and an iconic metallic purple exterior on a unique triangular-shaped building — this truly sets a new standard in Redmond. Promoting sustainable and healthy living, this eco-friendly building is targeting LEED Platinum certification as well as Fitwel designation.
