Rendering of Black Pearl on the Columbia restaurant unveiled
Vancouver-based construction company RSV Building Solutions has released the final architectural renderings for the new Black Pearl on the Columbia restaurant.
The multi-level restaurant is being built on the former Parker House site in Washougal.
"We are extremely excited to showcase just how amazing the Black Pearl on the Columbia will be," said Ron Frederiksen, president of RSV Building Solutions. "This restaurant is sure to be a new icon for the region and we are pleased with how quickly work is progressing."
RSV recently completed all the needed site preparation work and has begun pouring concrete. In the coming weeks, the eatery's structure will begin to take shape as structural steel is erected.
Additionally, the Black Pearl on the Columbia recently hired Michael Fry as its executive chef. Fry will oversee the entire kitchen operations, which include menu development, recipe development, and kitchen management.
