I just got off the phone with Chris Linker, a partner in the Black Bottle restaurants and general manager of both the Belltown location and the soon-to-be Bellevue spot.

He says the new restaurant will be called Black Bottle Postern—postern, meaning a secondary door or gate, because the restaurant’s main entrance is around the side of the building.

Scheduled to open in mid-February, Black Bottle Postern will have a menu made up mostly of shareable plates, similar in price and portion size to those at the Belltown location, though most of the recipes will be new. (Favorites like blasted broccoli will make the trip over the lake.) The wine list will also be similar—the buyer is the same—but ultimately depends on what people are drinking over there on the Eastside.

The new construction has the same square footage as the 100-year-old space that houses the Belltown restaurant. In other words, don’t expect a blown-up, suburban version of a Seattle restaurant.
