Dinner for two on the Mediterranean seaside?

Table's all set, dinner is served!  Isn't this just perfect?  With the temperatures we're having, this picture doesn't have to be the Mediterranean seaside.  But that's where we're taking you this week.  I love this menu - the food is not heavy and makes you feel good.  Of course it does, the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest.  (It also includes wine so that makes it even better.)

Won't you join us this week.  I can't promise you the seaside seats, but our patio is pretty peaceful.  Unless there is sangria.  Then I can't promise anything. :-)  As always, this menu is offered on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  Fine dining in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are located at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  And remember, our cuisine is always freshly prepared and worth the wait.

We're heating things up this week with our Mexican menu!  This is definitely one of my favourite weeks.  And we have some new dishes for you to try, which is always exciting.  Are you brave enough to try the bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapenos?  How about chicken quesadillas?  And to top it off, I'm thinking crème brûlée.  Perfect!  That's me sorted.  What are you having?  I think the weather will be perfect for dining on the patio too.

We are giving you the opportunity to share this dining experience with us on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  Spicy, but not overly so, and flavourful dishes await you.  You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it.  Always freshly prepared, our cuisine will have you coming back for more and eagerly anticipating Mexican week each time it rolls around.
