New restaurant owner, Manny Rodrigues, realized his dream while making building improvements to the historic Hartman Chevrolet garage built in 1922, now owned by Moe Salem. Previous owners of the space had initiated and abandoned plans to create an eatery in the location.After reviewing the earlier plans for a proposed addition to the South end of the building by Silverton architect, Michael Wellman, Manny began to see what a special place it could be and envisioned a place where people would gather and share great food and stories. That place is Creekside Grill. The restaurant officially opened in September 2008.
