Valentine’s Day in Comfort

Remember February 14th B.C. (Before Covid)? Our phones ringing off the hook as you all scramble to make reservations for any two-top table at 7pm to enjoy a prix fixe menu? It doesn’t take an insider to tell you that while we are always grateful for reservations, Valentine’s Day is not the best day to patronize restaurants. Overcrowded dining rooms, new menus written to maximize profits, and high expectations, these often create high-pressure situations that leave both staff and customers more than disappointed. Many inside the biz refer to February 14th and December 31st as Amateur Hour (sorry to bust any bubbles out there.)I don’t know about you, but the pandemic and the weather have me craving comfort food like it’s my job (see what I did there? It is my job.) So, we are staying open for a Sunday night to offer you all a simple, comforting dinner that you can easily replate and enjoy at home - no crowded dining rooms, no sauced dishes.  3-Course Valentine’s Day Dinner for $20

• • Chicory salad with bacon, walnut, pear & sherry vinaigrette
• • Creamy seafood chowder with shrimp, rockfish, potato, fennel, celery & grilled sourdough bread

  Pair it with a new addition to our wine offerings - a lovely, lemony, dry sparkling rosé. The fact that it’s made by three generations of female winemakers is just a plus!Can’t make it for dinner? All weekend long we’ll be offering heart-shaped biscuits, strawberry scones, and fresh-made strawberry milk for the young and young at heart!
