Happy New Year Everyone!

Thank you to everyone who chose to spend part of New Year’s Eve by dining with us, and to those who came in for our New Year’s Day Brunch. We cannot thank you enough for your patronage.
Excellent!! Best Italian food I've had since I left Massachusetts 12 years ago!

If wine isn’t your thing we have two Flight Nights scheduled featuring fantastic craft breweries: Brew Dog from “across the Pond” in Scotland, and Lagunitas Brewing Co., Petaluma, CA. The Brew Dog event is coming right up on January 23 and I recommend giving these guys a try -- their Hardcore IPA

Celebrate Valentine’s Day early with 150 Mill & Lagunitas Don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day?

The Lagunitas event on February 13 will feature their limited season release, inappropriately named “Sucks.” Don’t let the name dissuade you…it’s one of the finest craft beers available today.
bars pouring beer from Baxter Brewing and Shocktop, cocktails from Pinnacle Vodka and Jim Beam, and several wines from Central Distributors. Please visit laarts.org or icefestla.com for additional information on the event. See you in February! (and guys…make those reservations for Valentine’s Day. A quick phone call now is MUCH better than the alternative later...) Cory, a.k.a.: “Marketing Guy”
