West Seattle restaurants: Eness hoping to open next week

Update on the new Eness Restaurant at 3247 California SW (map; ex-Beato spot) – heard tonight from one of the proprietors, Khadidja Romari Belambri, who says they’re hoping to open next week, maybe as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday. She also says they had a huge response to job openings they advertised: “I received more than 200 resumes and I was really surprised! I did not expect to receive that many … I wish we had a big restaurant to hire as many as possible but we have only 4 positions open.” (We previewed Eness here in late January.)

Super! French dining is something we really don’t have in WS, so looking forward to it…..keep it French and best of luck!

Is there an menu online anywhere? We are excited to try it out :)

If i was opening a restaurant and got 200 resumes for 4 positions…Hmmm…Let’s just say I wouldn’t sleep well at night. But that’s just me…I wish them luck and can’t wait to see what have they done to the interior. I’m not a big fan of pinks and reds together…

Yay! This sounds fab! Wonder if they’re going to have any North African food?? That would make me a happy camper. :-)

Eness is open and fantastic. The food is tasteful and elegant. Well worth it!

Thanks, we heard a rumor to that effect, tried to confirm that multiple times today – called and went by and sent e-mail … TR

Glad to have a charming neighborhood place to go to relax and pretend I’m in Provence. I’ll be back for more of Eness’ delicious food and well-priced wine list.

Sorry, comment time is over.
