Bistro Colette
Flights Wine Bar is now Bistro Colette. Chef/Owner Jeremy Buck has created a menu with appetizers such as Pissaladière (a puff pastry with caramelized onions, olives and anchovies), ratatouille, smoked crab dip and fried calamari; charcuterie with choices that include chicken liver pate, rabbit roulade with truffle sauce and country pork terrine with pistachios; flatbreads; French onion soup and entrees such as coq au vin, juniper sage duck, Burride (cod, prawns, mussels and clams in a broth) and bistro mac-n-cheese.
“What we’re attempting to do is introduce people to some basic sort of French Country dishes that might be recognizable for people,” Buck told the Source. “The idea is to have a casual dining experience at a good price. It can be anything from somebody getting off work and just wanting a quick bite or don’t want to cook at home… Or it could be celebrating on the weekend with family and friends.” Ultimately, he says it’s comfort food with fresh ingredients and not fine dining. He wants it to feel like a neighborhood bistro. Prices range from $15 up to about $30.
Buck and his wife, Lian Schmidt, also own Salute Restaurant & Bar. Bistro Colette still offers a robust wine list, though Buck says he will start revising it to include more French wines. Customers can also enjoy daily happy hour, all day wine Wednesdays and fried chicken & champagne every Thursday.

Mimi’s Bagel Deli
Mimi’s Bagel Deli is making the leap from food truck to brick and mortar. Work is underway preparing their new location on NW Galveston. Mimi’s specializes in hand-rolled, boiled New Jersey-style bagels. The menu also includes a variety of breakfast sandwiches, crumb cake, muffins, cinnamon rolls and cookies. One of the owners, Frank Anello, a fourth-generation baker, told the Source he hopes to have Mimi’s open in late June or July, with hours six days a week from 6am-2pm. He’s expanding the menu to include new cream cheese flavors, a full line of pastries including some family recipes and espresso. The food truck will remain closed, but he hopes to do pop-ups in the future at special events. “Most importantly I want to create a spot that feels warm, fast-paced, and community-driven—whether you’re grabbing a quick bagel and coffee or hanging out for a bit,” he says.

Redmond Pizzeria Under New Ownership
Grace and Hammer is under new ownership in Redmond. When the previous owner decided to leave Oregon, a group of five friends came together to ensure the wood-fired pizzeria would remain authentic. “We’ve all lived in Central Oregon for decades,” Ken Streater, one of the owners, told the Source. “It needed to continue and is something special… It’s a place that provides, in my opinion, a remarkable setting for the community to come enjoy Redmond food, but most importantly, a gathering spot for family and friends and colleagues that has such a welcoming and warm environment.” Streater also credits the employees for stepping up to be managers and support the transition. Grace and Hammer, located in a historic former church, was voted Best Pizza in Redmond last year by Source readers.
