No January Thaw --- Winter's in full swing - warm up by one of the fireplaces @ The BR ~ all the better with family & friends
Greetings!

Dare I mention snow?  The mounds of it, the beauty as it falls in glittering reflection of sun & moon, the snow that takes so many of our precious few PARKING spots!!

Bravo to the intrepid who come out, in good spirits, & enjoy making their way to The BR!  We are having quite a winter (for those of you away from it all) & bravo is not nearly accolade enough for those who brave the cold & wet to find a warm spot in the heart of the BR.

Speaking of heart - we are set for a special Valentine's weekend.  The menu is here for you to peruse.  Call or make reservation on our website - 5pm - 9pm: Fri, Sat, Monday AND 4pm - 8pm Sunday.


Also this month, just a bit about our long-term servers who enjoy having such great customers come & care ~ again & again.    They are the backbone of our Front of House staff and have leadership qualities & actions, all.

And in the kitchen Peter M & Peter B are stepping out creatively with fabulous menu & bakery items  ~ we are in our stride, come out soon if it's been a while, try us again if it's been a while; check out the WORDLE of our customer feedback during January ~ these are the words of our customers.

Sincerely,
In the Bakery
