"This fall, a longtime French favorite will bid its adieu. After more than 15 years, Belltown’s Boat Street Kitchen & Bistro announced it plans to close permanently November 15 due to the challenges brought on by the pandemic. The business is currently on the market. Since it opened at its Western Ave location in 2005, Boat Street Kitchen has been a reliable neighborhood fixture, serving up comforting French-influenced bistro fare, such as organic chicken liver pate and amaretto bread pudding with butter rum cream sauce, earning kudos from critics for its warm ambience and approachable food." - Gabe Guarente
