Seattle based restaurateur Ethan Stowell has announced today that he plans to open a location of his Tavolata restaurant, a popular modern Italian eatery, in Spokane. Stowell says " When the opportunity arose for us to cross the mountains and create an amazing restaurant in such an amazing place, we jumped at it "
Tavolata will be the anchor tenant of the historic and recently renovated OCH Building at the corner of N. Wall St and Spokane Falls Blvd. in Downtown Spokane. The restaurant will occupy a 5,000 square foot space that had been vacant but was at one time an Olive Garden restaurant. Tenant improvements are underway and the new Tavolata is set to open in early 2021.
Chris Bell along with Jon Jefferies of NAI Black represented the landlord in the transaction. They also acknowledge they have multiple deals at the OCH Building that they plan to announce in the coming weeks. " Now that the building has been fully renovated and updated we are seeing an increase in lease activity " said Jon Jefferies.
The new restaurant will have a prime location across from Riverfront Park and the Numerica Skate Ribbon. It will feature seating for 172 guests between the main dining room, lounge area, bar counter and bar. As well as offering two private dining rooms and a seasonal patio with a additional seating for 30.
Additionally, but not mentioned in today's announcement is a place called " Tavolata Mini " which recently popped up on a permit for a tenant improvement at the Wonder Building, a few blocks north of this site. We're keeping an eye out for news on that.
