Welcoming a new WSB sponsor: Beato Food and Wine

Summer starts in a few hours and outdoor dining starts this weekend at WSB’s newest sponsor, Beato Food and Wine. Here’s more on that and other announcements that Beato’s Brandon Gillespie wants to share as his restaurant joins the WSB sponsor lineup (find that full list here):

A Big Thanks to West Seattle!

The staff and I at Beato want to thank all of West Seattle for providing us with such support over the past year and a half. We love being a part of West Seattle and we couldn’t have done it without you. As we approach summer, we have a couple of announcements to make with regards to the restaurant.

SUMMER PATIO OPENING SOON:
Saturday, June 21, 2008
The meterologists are predicting warmer weather for the beginning of summer this weekend and with it, we plan to open the patio on Saturday, June 21. Throughout the summer season, for anyone enjoying a glass of wine on the patio between 4:30-6pm, we’ll offer complimentary summer snacks, such as housemade sunchoke chips or house-brined olives. So be sure to stop by on your way home from work and enjoy a glass of wine and a few bites in the summer sun!

SUMMER HOURS
Starting this week, we are open for dinner inside from 5-10 pm on Tuesday through Thursday and from 5-11pm on Friday and Saturday. The patio will open at 4:30pm whenever the weather is warm and dry enough. We will be closed Sundays and Mondays for the summer.

Thank you for your continued support and I hope to see you soon at Beato Food and Wine.

-Brandon Gillespie

So exciting to hear about the summer patio opening! And welcome Beato as a sponsor!

Shameless but unsolicited plug here: If you want to take out-of-towners to a great W. Seattle restaurant and you’ve done the Salty’s bit (blah, blah), take them to Beato. Out-flippin’-standing!

The portions are modest but oh-so filling. The salumi and formaggi selections are must haves. The main dishes are out-of-this-world delicious. Really, you can’t go wrong bringing friends or family here.

Note: Oh no! I don’t see the peppered gnocchi with homemade sausage and fennel on the menu! *gasp* Please, please tell me they’ll be bringing this back.

OK, my shameless, unpaid and royalty-free opinion is over.

OP – Couldn’t agree more! And you’ll score points with the cool, hip location. This place is all about the food and wine. The portions are smaller, but trust me, you’ll be full by the end! It’s way more fun because you get to try lots of different things. Desserts are also incredible. Service is also excellent. Now I’m hungry!

Beato really is a fantastic restaurant – world class food and service, incredible wine flights (samplers), and the fact that it’s in our W. Seattle hood is yet another reason not to leave the peninsula.

We’ll see you on the patio soon, Brandon!!

Beato is my favorite restaurant in West Seattle! The food is always wonderful and imaginative. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. And the wine flights are wonderful! And the complimentary snacks on the lovely patio are a great idea! Keep up the good work, Brandon!!

Just went there for the first time last night. Had a really great meal. Looking forward to going back and sitting on the patio and enjoying a wine flight.

We had our first Beato meal a couple weeks ago. Spent lots of money, but it was worth it! Amazing dining! We were impressed by the cuteness of the staff as well.

Sorry, comment time is over.
