Telegraph Bistro & Bar in Washington Park just opened for lunch today, will debut its brunch menu on Oct. 24, and its dinner business has been brisk since the eatery opened Friday in the former space of Café Bar and the Grey Cactus.
“It’s been 100 percent people from the neighborhood,” said owner Christopher Sargent. “Everyone we talked to said they used to come to Café Bar all the time, and they love the changes we’ve made. They’re saying the food is really great, so we’re pretty stoked about that.”
Sargent opened the popular in the Highland neighborhood last year, and just applied for a liquor license for his third venture, Kindred, that will open in in four to seven months.
Right now, the excitement is about Telegraph, which features new American cuisine. Today, the debut of their lunch hour, revealed a happy surprise for fans of the $13 Brazen burger, which is now served at Telegraph –beef, bacon, and cheddar with a secret sauce.
Sargent and executive chef Brian Wilson – who both worked at chef Jennifer Jasinski’s restaurant Rioja – have created a menu that balances such proteins as red snapper ($34), seabass ($26) and pork chops ($27) with lots of vegetable plates like cauliflower steak ($10), beet salad ($10), and tempura vegetables ($10).

People were out eating on the patio last night, window boxes with flowers will soon be installed, and the lights over the awning will soon be ready to turn on.
“We’re super happy people that people have noticed that we’re open,” said Sargent.
