Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar will be the first restaurant at Grant Street Pier in downtown Vancouver’s future, $1.3 billion, mixed-use waterfront project, Gramor Development announced Wednesday.

The Spokane-based restaurant company signed a lease with Columbia Waterfront LLC, a private investors’ group led by Gramor Development.

Overlooking a yet-to-be-built cable-suspended pier, the restaurant will open up to a promenade and waterfront park, with outdoor seating providing a vista of the Columbia River. The 8,320-square-foot space on the ground floor will have a riverfront boathouse feel, with modern lines and large sliding doors, according to a press release.

It’s “the perfect first eatery for this location,” Gramor Development President Barry Cain said in the press release. Several restaurants are planned for the 32-acre site, he said.

Twigs has four restaurants in Spokane, plus locations in Kennewick and Union Gap, the Bridgeport Village shopping center in Tigard, Ore., Meridian, Idaho, and Farmington, Utah.
