Here we are. May. Hard to believe.
The National Restaurant Association sent out a state of the industry update this week: “Consumer sentiment is being negatively impacted by the slowing economy, uncertainties around tariffs, inflation, and the stock market. As a result, households are becoming increasingly wary about their financial situations, which could lead to reduced spending.” At it relates to tourism, the NY Times tells us: “Between a global trade war, cancelled visas and tourists detained at the border, the signals from the United States have been anything but inviting to potential visitors.”
That’s it in a nutshell, friends. So, what do we do?
As is my way, I like to be transparent. We are really struggling right now. Not because what we do is not appreciated (thank you to our lovely guests for always reminding me of this!) I do hear, though, that folks think it’s very hard to get a reservation here…not so. Not by a longshot.
This blog post serves to remind you that we are here, Thursday-Saturday from 5:00-8:00pm. Stop in for a drink or a glass of wine. Or one of our hand crafted N/A beverages. Have a bar bite. Enjoy our weekly changing Prix Fixe menu. Pre-order one of our Sunday Takeaway Meals. Sign up for the mailing list and get updates on upcoming Wine Club Tastings with our own Jeana Janik. Bistro Bar Bite notifications. Fried Chicken dine-ins, etc. We continue to be dynamic in our offerings and stay on brand with what we do…keep us in mind.
Our team is here for you; all we can do is remind you of that. And all you can do is what’s within your means; we are all in this together…thank you.
