NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2012 Hello everyone! What an incredible weekend we had last HOLIDAY PARTIES week! Family members from four States converged on Prairie du Rocher and Waterloo for a beautiful wedding and family reunion. Chef/Owner Jennifer tied the knot with her beloved, Bill Kennedy, and the Shannon/Pensoneau family gathered to celebrate. A grand wedding reception was held at the Bistro on Saturday, November 3, 2012, and we appreciate your indulgence for our closing that day. But now, everyone has scattered to the four winds, and we’re back to normal. CH-CH-CH-CHANGES We’re back to Winter hours now, 5-9 pm Monday through Thursday, 5-10 pm Friday and Saturday, and 11 am-8pm Sunday. Along with Standard Time and Winter hours come changes to the menu (not to worry — you’ll find your favorites are still here!), and new daily specials. We are no longer offering a Sunday Brunch menu, but the Roasted Turkey Dinner is available again on Sunday. Daily Specials: Wednesday and Thursday, 12 oz Pork Chop with two sides, or Shrimp Or Chicken Pasta, $10.95 Friday, Grilled Shrimp Platter, $14.95 Saturday, Prime Rib, $21.50 Sunday, Turkey Dinner served with 3 sides and corn bread, $10.95 Looking for something VERY special? We are now offering a Chef’s Table service. You and your guests will enjoy a 3, 4, or 5 course meal with wine pairings in a cozy, intimate setting. Such a great idea for small gatherings or parties!
