So, I've had 2 training shifts at the Wine Bar and Bistro on Lark and I think I'm going to really enjoy spending my Mondays there.

Looking good, Nicole’s
Have you been on Delaware Avenue recently? After many months, the days of avoiding the construction and related traffic back-ups are finally ending.

Things definitely got a little fuzzy towards the end of our meal, but I did my best to … Continue reading Epic Dinner at Restaurant Menton
