The popular 3 Eyed Fish Kitchen + Bar reopened Sept. 18 at 1970 Keene Road in Richland after a summer of anticipation surrounding the newly remodeled and enlarged gathering place for local wine lovers.

The restaurant now comprises 2,800 square feet of modernized space, with seating for up to 98, retaining its popular outdoor seating at the street-level, as well as its rooftop patio, which offers sweeping views of Badger Mountain and the surrounding area.

Thanks to the expanded kitchen space, 3 Eyed Fish has launched a new food menu with take-away options, in addition to continuing its reputation of offering a variety of local wines.

The five-year-old restaurant’s summertime closure coincided with the construction of two roundabouts on Queensgate Drive.

The project cost topped out at $1.1 million.

Wave Design of Kennewick served as architect.

Owners are Cindy and Brian Goulet of Florentyna’s Inc.

Brian’s construction company, IBK Inc. was the general contractor.
