CONSTRUCTION and wine meal 4/15

Bon Appétit: Spanish Deals and Steals, Friday, April 15 Road Construction Williamson street is under construction for the near future. We will be open for business at our regular hours Thursday through Sunday 10am to 2pm brunch and 5pm to 9pm dinner. We will email or post all specials including the Spanish wine dinner (to follow). Traffic is one lane moving toward the capital, fortunately the one lane is on our side of the street so you can easily turn into our parking lot. Please try us out during these tough times.
