FROM THE OWNERS

🌟 Have you been enjoying the Olympic games as much as we have?

What’s your favorite moment so far? While gymnastics, swimming, and diving are always crowd-pleasers, let’s not forget the thrill of Canoe Slalom (🥉) and the incredible performances by the US Women’s Fencing (🥇) and Rugby (🥉) Teams, as well as Men’s Four-Person Rowing (🥇)! It’s truly inspiring to witness these athletes making history and nations coming together in the spirit of competition. 🌍🏅

Speaking of remarkable feats, our resident monarch caterpillar completed its metamorphosis this week, emerging like a track star in the final stretch. Although we missed the front-row seat, we wish it well on its new journey as a butterfly! 🏃‍♀️🦋

Now, let’s dive into this weekend’s special. It’s all-around gold…literally! 🥇 Our fresh flounder fillet is wrapped around the cheesiest, most delicious stuffing made with ricotta, cream cheese, Asiago, and Parmesan. If that sounds a bit heavy after a week of heat advisories, fear not! It’s nestled on a bed of capellini with lightly sautéed fresh tomatoes, lemon zest, parsley, and a touch of garlic oil, making it hearty but not overly so. 🍝🍅

And don’t think we forgot about dessert! 🍨 This month, we’re channeling summer refreshment with a special ice cream inspired by the classic Italian sweet - Cannoli. Our cannoli ice cream is packed with all the traditional ingredients, just in ice cream form! For a boozier ending to your meal, try our Cannoli Martini, made with Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate Vodka, Frangelico, and a touch of cream and cinnamon, rimmed with chocolate and pistachios. 🍦🍸

The heat is on this weekend, and there may be a spirit of competition for reservations with events like UL Summer Commencement and an event at the Heymann Center on Friday evening. Remember, we save some space for walk-ins, and our Blu Room offers a delightful waiting area with live jazz both nights this weekend. 🎷🎶 You’ll also notice a new development when calling the restaurant, as we’re trying something new to better handle the volume of phone calls we receive. As always, we’re adapting and innovating to best serve you, and we love that you’re a part of this journey with us. 💖

See you soon! 🎉
