Dine out for the Kids October 2nd and Closed October 5th & 6th

Dine out for the kids on Friday, October 2nd.  We are kicking off the South Whidbey Schools Foundation Dine Out program and a portion of our sales from that day will go directly to funding awesome programs in the South Whidbey School District.

We will be closed October 5th and 6th for projects, repairs, cleaning and some staff  R&R.  We will be laying the patio to rest during that time, so be sure to come in over this weekend as we hope to have it open all weekend (weather permitting of course).  If you are hoping to sit out there, be sure to wear warm clothes...we have the heaters on and blankets, but you will be surprised by how chilly it is now.

And speaking of the patio...we are again in the running for King 5's Best of the Northwest in the best outdoor dining category...we would LOVE to get your vote.  Thanks so much for the support!

TAKE OUT ORDERS

Based on our growing volume and the restaurant running at maximum capacity almost every day,
our current policy for take out is as follows:
Take out orders placed between 11:30-6:00 are taken on a discretionary basis - the person who answers the phone will determine if the kitchen can handle that order at that time. Any order placed after 6 PM must be made in person. We've had numerous people call in after 6 who have been upset with this policy - the reason behind it is that it allows us to get to you when we can. If everyt table is full and there is a line of people coming up the stairs, we believe those people are our priority.
 Thank you for understanding.

CLOSED MONDAY JULY 27th

We are holding our 6th annual Georgetown Brewing beer maker's dinner the evening of Monday, July 27th and will not be serving lunch on that day in order to make preparations for the event.  The event is Sold Out.

 

OUR 10th Summer!

Whoa, what an amazing Spring.  We've been so busy that I've not been able to get this newsletter out...better late than never!  We've had the patio open since early May and it's looking absolutely amazing out there with our new planter boxes, thanks to the awesome women at Art of Soil http://www.artofsoil.com/.  Please remember, we can't guarantee reservations on the patio...the best way to explain it is that we can guarantee you a reservation at a certain time, but not necessarily in a certain place.  We do our very best to make everyone happy and it is a big juggling act!
