Bistro Newsletter

Just a quick note today as it has been a hectic week and a busy day here at the Bistro. A few new dishes are on the Summer Menu which debuted today. Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Watermelon Antipasto, Grouper Tacos, Crescent Pasta & an old favorite Crusty Mustard Chicken.

We ran a few of these dishes last weekend to work out the kinks. The Grouper tacos needed a sauce and now have one, the watermelon needed a crunch and now it does…and so on.

Chef Max killed it with everything tonight. Although Chef and I laugh that we always approach new ideas and recipes differently, we continuously seem to come up with something pretty great on the plate in the end that we are both happy with. Max is a true partner to me in the kitchen and very respected by his staff. His attention to detail and his work ethic do not go unnoticed. Tonight’s guests were happy, and the staff loved everything too. They are the first ones to tell me something is not up to par. The chefs on the line executed everything just the way Max and I envisioned, and it was a harmonious if not even dare I say FUN evening.

Amanda came up with an entire new cocktail program. They are colorful as well as delicious. She even made a batch of homemade Bonfire Bitters for our new Old Fashioned. Clove, Cinnamon & Burnt Marshmallows to name a few ingredients. Wow!

Bartender Tori did her spin on our Mocktail List and updated the bottled beer selections as well.

I can’t believe sometimes how lucky I am to be surrounded by such talented cool people. We hope you enjoy everything!

Cheers,
Sharon
