Well, we’re in the middle of it again. Summer. We’ve been waiting since those last hot days at the end of September for weather like this. Salt trucks, sidewalk shoveling and snow days are nothing more than a distant memory.
The weather is just one bonus when you compare Summer to Winter. I don’t know about you but my mind conjures up images of
Swimming pools. Vacations. Family time. Grilling. Baseball. Fireworks. Picnics. Air Conditioned Movie Theaters.
That’s just a short list of some things that make summertime so much fun. Being in the restaurant industry, summer tends to bring a boost. During conversations with our guests I frequently hear “It’s too hot to cook, so we decided to go out to eat”, or “We just wanted to get out of the house and enjoy a nice meal somewhere with air conditioning”. Hey, whatever your reasoning to come out and see us, we love to have you!
And to make things a little more interesting around here, we decided to come up with a unique Summer Specials Menu for our guests. A wide variety of thirteen meals, sure to please, all at a very hot prices starting as low as $8.99! Just take a look at what we’re offering:
Almond Encrusted Flounder- Fresh flounder dipped in sliced almonds, sauteed to a golden brown and served with a wasabi dill sauce on the side.
Brandy Peach Chicken-Tender chicken lightly floured, sauteed, with juicy peaches, brown sugar, and finished with our brandy sauce.

Any of those enough to convince you to not cook tonight? Now, keep in mind, once summer turns to fall, these specials are going to go into hibernation. Maybe we should come up with a special Autumn menu to replace the Summer Specials? Let’s put that question out there for you, our valued guests, to discuss. What do you think of the Summer Specials? Why not drop us a response here on the blog and tell us what items you tried? Do you like the idea of seasonal specials? Any thing missing you would like to see added? Hey, you can even jump ahead to Winter if you like and tell us what you’d like to see on a Winter Specials menu! We always like to hear from you, but as we mentioned earlier, we love seeing you even more!
