Valentine's Dinner - Take Two! at the Depot Restaurant

Monday, February 15 2010, 6:00am - 9:00pm
Many of our friends have been enthusiastic followers of our “Private Cellar Dinner” series.  They have  great bottles in their home cellars, have enjoyed raiding their cellars to come down to the Depot Restaurant—where we do all the cooking.   There have been a lot of requests for the next one—but we had to wait for inspiration to strike the Chef on the head...sometimes it takes a pretty big clunk!
 
With Valentines Day coming up, inspiration did strike!  Many people will be going out for Valentines on the always busy (maybe too busy?) Sunday February 14.  Nothing wrong with that…  But if you want to do something different and really special this year, our Chef has a menu that will really put Romance, with a capital R, back on the table!
 
At 6:00 pm MONDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 15, our Executive Chef Antonio Ghilarducci will present this luscious and romantic VALENTINES MENU for you to savor with your sweetheart.  And if you have some good or even great wine stored up, but haven't yet had the time to pop that special bottle, this is the perfect occasion.  Once again, just leave the cooking to us!  Here is the menu ...bring just a bottle  or two, or six!  As always, no corkage.  You can have a romantic table for two...or make up a party table with your favorite friends...
