Sunday, April 27, 2014
6:00 PM


Bloom Restaurant
5410 17th Ave Nw, Seattle, WA

Description (per Organizer):
Pop-up restaurants make a debut at some local establishments. These one-night-stand restaurants take the cuisine in a decidedly different direction than what you usually would find at the address. The plating is less fussy, the cooking more like your grandma's.


Our very own event organizer Olive also happens to be a very talented chef, as some members have tasted her wonderful dishes during many potluck meals. Her style of cuisine is modern International with an Asian twist. Recently, she decided to further develop her culinary passion from "CookingDolls":  a private chef service and invitation only Dining Club.  And now we're pleased to announce that she is hosting her first ever pop-up dinner event!
