We need your help
As some of you know there have been a number of restaurant closings in the
metro area. Many of you love our restaurant and want us to continue in the
way have been going. Unfortunately we had a few slow months that are
normally busy and then we had our normal slow months. So we are asking for
your help.
We do not want a hand out but a hand up. If we could get those of you who
like to dine here on a regular basis to buy a gift card for your future
visit. If you are able to help us in this way you will also join Derek for
a private dinner over the next few months in a small group of less than 6
people. We look forward to hearing from you soon or unfortunately we may
not be able to serve you in the future.
Please consider helping us stay open
