Hello, Feastlings,
We’re normally closed on Mondays, but it being Valentine’s Day, we’re opening our doors for your benefit as well as ours. We’ll only be seating from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and with our still-limited seating, we’re sure to fill up, so calling us at 326-9363 for a reservation is an excellent plan. For Valentine’s Day, we’ll be offering a prix fixe menu, but you’re also welcome to select from our special dishes a la carte, or choose from a limited selection from our regular menu. Reservations are a must, and please be aware that we’ll be unable to offer these dishes for takeout- they simply won’t travel well- nor will we be open for lunch. We do hope you can join us.
