WHAT IS A FREESTYLE BISTRO?

It is not a formula. Janet is a Chicago-Irish-Democrat-Alpha Female-Chef… she makes whatever she wants. It just so happens that she wants to make really great meals using fresh local ingredients. That being said, the cuisine has strong European influences, and when she visits restaurants in Northern Italy she finds food that makes sense. The fare is fine and the ambiance is casually upscale.  Order a little or a lot. Come early for wine and a small plate, or come late just for desserts and a night cap.

It often riles some of the local loyalist when we refer to ourselves as “A culinary oasis in a desert named Washington County”. We mean no disrespect. But it still surprises us, given the warm appreciation we receive from so many wonderful customers, that the amazing Pacific Northwest food scene has been so slow to take root west of 23rd and Burnside. If you haven’t been to Bethany’s Table you owe it to yourself to pay us a visit. We promise that you will enjoy your experience of great food and warm hospitality.
