We're baaaaaaaaack!
After a much deserved vacation for all of the Sent Sovi staff and some renovation and maintenance in the restaurant we reopened this week.
To kick off 2007, we have the second of our "Bring Your Own Bottle" dinners coming up at the end of the month, January 30th to be exact (menu below). This will become a quarterly event from now on.
We have many other exciting events planned for 2007, check out our updated schedule.
I am excited to announce that we have a brand new winter menu for 2007 (click here to view). We are featuring such cold weather treats as Venison, Lamb Racks and Niman Ranch Pork in more robust preparations for the cold winter months.
Speaking of cold- I'm not sure, but when my father moved out from Montreal to the Bay Area in the sixties, it was to escape the cold weather. I think his betrayal of the fine country of Canada finally caught up with him, and we're feeling the effects.
As you East Coasters and other cold climate adapted individuals can attest, this is not typical weather for California. In food land, citrus is taking the brunt of the economic loss but we are seeing effects on everything from herbs to goat cheese. Luckily my main produce purveyor (Green Leaf) seems to be adapting well and paying top dollar to source the smaller amount of good stuff that is out on the market.
Finally, I wanted to thank everyone who attended the New Years Eve party; it was our best attendance ever. The late seating was especially fun. I presided over a midnight Champagne tasting (Thanks to those who contributed bottles, especially the 1985 Krug and the 1996 Bollinger) and for the first time in Sent Sovi history made it up to the 2:00 AM "Last call". A good time was had by all.
I'm Looking forward to a great 2007. To paraphrase Mark Twain: "Rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated".
As always, thanks for your support.
