Monroe, WA (OPENPRESS) April 22, 2011 -- Canyons Restaurant in Monroe will undergo a major rebranding, reopening in mid-May, 2011, as "Tuscano's Italian Kitchen," a fun, family-style Italian restaurant.
The 6,000-square-foot restaurant, located at 14919 N. Kelsey St., will remain open as Canyons, a Southwestern-style eatery, during much of the rebranding phase and continues to welcome customers. Canyons will close for a short time beginning on Sunday, April 30, and re-emerge in mid-May as the new Tuscano's Italian Kitchen, ready to serve Monroe and surrounding communities.
"We are very excited about the new Italian concept," said owner Scott Perry. "Based on city-sponsored focus groups and general market opportunities, we recognize the residents of Monroe and the surrounding area are clamoring for an affordable, friendly Italian restaurant and we're thrilled to rebrand in Monroe. We've been communicating the concept change with our current Canyons customers and the reception has been wonderful. There is genuine excitement in the air and we look forward to serving delicious, freshly prepared Italian food in a fun, family-friendly, casual atmosphere."
The new restaurant will offer a menu of freshly prepared Italian comfort foods including made-from-scratch brick oven pizza, grinders and specialty dishes. Think generous portions, affordable prices served in a casual Tuscan-inspired atmosphere. The new concept will include a trellised outdoor patio for summertime dining, a fun new look inside, and a lively, 21 and over bar where guests can watch their favorite sporting events while enjoying a variety of $3- $4 "Kitchen Bites."
Patrons who sign up at Canyons-Monroe will be kept apprised as the transition occurs and will have the opportunity to be on a guest list for the reopening VIP ½ price dinners. Just like with Canyons, the new restaurant will include an environment aimed at families, individuals and groups. There is free Wi-Fi and a private back room that can be reserved for rehearsal dinners, showers, team parties and other events.
Perry, who also owns Canyons restaurants in Bothell and Redmond, is partnering with Executive Chef Jeff Rathbun, who will work as managing partner of Tuscano's. Rathbun's culinary resume includes more than 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry, focused for a good portion of the time where his true passion lies - in Italian cuisine at restaurants such as Buca di Beppo and Macaroni Grill.
