CARMELITA REDUX
Whew! What a week! What a transformation! For 9 days (not quite the 5-6 we thought) we worked from dawn to dusk. And that’s a long time when it’s summer in Seattle. We had the most incredible time working with our amazing family and kick-ass friends. Everyone pitched in with such love and commitment as if it were their own. Our fabulous F&F helped in numerous ways; from having Sam for the day (or night), by helping to create our signature cocktails, to painting, problem-solving, hammering and hanging the fixtures, everyone worked SO hard! AMAZING!

Meanwhile, Carlos and our top-notch kitchen crew were cooking up a storm, developing delectable new recipes for both the dinner menu and the bar menu. Bonus for us… we got to taste test everyday at lunchtime. YUMM!
And now TA-DA! We’re reopened!!
Please join us to celebrate our lovely Carmelita.
Check out our website for menus, specials and promos.
Thanks for your continued patronage!
Kathryn, Michael, Carlos and the entire staff at Carmelita
