Biscuit watch report from Ravenna: Frank’s Oyster House and Champagne Bar on NE 55th Street has white cheddar biscuit sandwiches on its small plates menu.
They are slider size and slightly dense. They are filled with (perfect) ham from Carleton Farms in Lake Stevens as well as Beecher’s cheese. Accompanying them: a little dish of apple butter that you spread on your sandwich before digging on in. The appley sweetness with the sorta salty ham and the sharp cheese? That works.
A duo of biscuit sandwiches at Frank’s costs $9.75, but if you go during happy hour you get a $2 discount on every small plate on the menu. Happy hour is Tuesday through Saturday 5 to 6:30pm and 10 to 11pm.
Another thing to know: Frank’s has sidewalk seating.

Pino Ragano moved his teensy sausage-curing operation out of the Rainier Valley’s “Garlic Gulch” and into Ravenna about a year and a half ago, but it’s taken me that long to get there.
Cafe da Pino is every bit as undersized and overstuffed as the original; its cases crammed with the housemade sausage restaurants like Brad’s Swingside Cafe and Matt’s in the Market have proudly served their guests, alongside Pellegrino and cases of chianti and imported olive oils and pasta and more.
Oh…and four or five cafe tables for guests.
Worth the wait. Ragano’s meatball sandwich is every inch the big tender goopy mess I so fondly remember from Rainer Avenue; his sausage sandwich even better, pretty killer in fact, drenched in red sauce and melting mozzarella. A big creamy pesto clung to fine ravioli and pine nuts in the nightly special. All in all…yum.
Mostly it’s just a happy little dose of Calabria on 65th; Old-World right down to its happy little pricetags.
