Bistro 3 Nineteen transitions to counter service

MARION — Bistro 3 Nineteen in Marion is transitioning to a new business model.

Brittany Hannah, who opened the restaurant in 2018, has moved the business to counter service with a new, fast-casual environment and business hours that will feature staple breakfast and lunch fare all day, with an emphasis on simplicity and fresh, scratch-made dishes.

“Menu items are designed to be ready in a short period of time so that busy workers can get back to work,” Hannah said in a news release. “We’ve kept our soft seating as well for those who want to sit in a comfortable place with friends.”

New hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; dinner service 5 to 9 p.m. Friday and 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday; brunch service 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. The bistro will be closed Sunday and Monday.

Customers can continue to get fresh-baked goods daily from its popular bakery case.
