Five months after temporarily shutting down, independent, local Bellevue restaurant The Lakehouse plans to reopen on October 12, with the craft cocktail destination Civility & Unrest reopening on October 14.
Owner Jason Wilson brings a new food team to both of these projects, with Scott Emerick heading the kitchens and Tanya Emerick as pastry chef.
The restaurant and bar closed in April after a long battle to keep the doors open during the global COVID pandemic. After planning, calculating, and repositioning, Wilson and the Emericks are ready to invite guests to The Lakehouse.
They say they expect the same feeling of a refined, relaxing retreat reminiscent of the previous Lakehouse, but evolving into a more laid-back dynamic of vibrant, locally grown and seasonal artisanal cuisine, fresh off the market. The Emericks will also open with a new retail space within The Lakehouse. Cuisine du Marché will feature products supporting local artists, including the best kitchen staples, beautiful cards, handcrafted soaps, vintage tea towels, candles, body adaptogens, beauty and style products. seasonal life and favorite French sweets. Cuisine du Marché will also offer a rigorous and rigorous selection of unique local and European wines, natural and biodynamic.
Celebrating the seasons and sticking to local generosity are top priorities for Scott Emerick, who brings a long career and chef positions to Campagne, Le Pichet, Lark, Harvest Vine and several Michelin-starred restaurants in France.

Her pastry career began when she and Scott opened Restaurant Crémant in 2007, which was named Best New Bon Appetit Restaurant in 2007. Both bring the pedigree, leadership and creativity that Wilson was looking for. Wilson will remain the owner of The Lakehouse and Civility & Unrest and will continue as Executive Chef at The Lodge at St. Edward State Park.
