Bellevue’s gem of a restaurant — Tastebud’s on MacArthur Avenue — is officially expanding. In addition to a new space just next door to its former nook (in the former Sammy’s Bakery space), there will be a name change.

Northside, please welcome Tastebuds American Bistro. From the restaurant’s new website:

You heard the news? We are expanding our restaurant to serve you better. The name will change from Tastebuds to Tastebuds American Bistro. Seating capacity will increase threefold including a small bar. Yes, we will be moving from 4023 MacArthur Avenue to 4019 MacArthur Avenue. That is only 2 doors to the right. The grand opening date has not been set.

The weblog I Wish I Could Cook has their own thoughts on the expansion:

This means more seating, more bar, more grilled leg of lamb with balsamic fig syrup, more sliced sirloin with blue cheese chive butter, golden beet & string bean salad and bacon potato cake…but most of all, more reasons for me to eat.

What a great success for Andrew and Valentina, the owners. Tastebuds started out as a catering company, moved into the to-go meal realm, added four tables, got a liquor license and, now finally, they will be a real live restaurant.
