Winter's in full swing - warm up by one of the fireplaces @ The BR ~ all the better with family & friends

Greetings!

Time for a bit of reflection & with that a great dose of gratitude....
Hundreds of wonderful people walk through the doors of the BR each week & add to our opportunities to provide what we are known for:  great food, great service, great ambience.

Thank you to each of you who walk through the door, bring friends with you & especially to those of you who let us know both when we are providing the "goods" & when we are not up to par. 

The accolades are great, no one can say that's not so.  However it is the "you can do better"; "this was not as good as last time"; "I thought the risotto was too salty"; "I didn't feel as welcome as those you knew at the next table" -- these are the comments that help us grow & continually evaluate & consider how to do better.

You will see evidence of our listening & taking action, hopefully this will encourage you to keep talking to us & coming back.

We look forward to welcoming you back to The BR in 2011!  What's new, what's changing, what's not changing?  Take a quick read through & find your "interest nook".  A great meal - breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner; shop for the foodies in your life - we make it easy:  great products, our expertise to guide you & always add a BR gift cert to make it all the more special; and more.

Sincerely,

Bob and Karen Finigan

We see such a wide range of wines come through the door, it is a testimony to the far flung interests & tastes of you, our customers.  This year we have invested in a top-of-the-line cork screw, so keep those wines coming through the door!

Dinner on Thursday

You will see a few more of the all-time favorites on the menu - yes, the lunch soups will be available & the weekly stew too.
 

Who knew that such simple & yet elegant dishes:  cassoulet, beef bourginoune, coq au vin & traditional lamb stew would hit the mark so broadly- these are some of your favorites & they will be available at dinner on Thurs.


Music on Fri & Sat will continue to be a feature - we hear great things from you about the quality & the enjoyment you get, and so do we!
