Empty Restaurant needs ideas

[Curtis Bidwell]

I had a good fine dining restaurant in a 3500sf space when we purchased the mixed use building (38 residential units upstairs, 3 office/retail and a restaurant on street level). The owner/chef got distracted and we had to evict. It's been 4 years and we've only been occupied for one of those years.

I'm looking for ideas to perhaps change use to create interest and occupancy.

We are in a town with population of just over 10,000, 20 minutes to the state capital (Olympia). Building is on the historic registry. Any ideas for a new concept, dividing up the space or promoting what we have are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
