Chase Away That Cabin Fever
With more than 2 feet of snow already fallen in our area and still going strong, we hope all of you are keeping safe and warm indoors.  To pass the time, how about reading another great article on Open Kitchen - this one highlighting our cooking classes: ON TAP Magazine.

By Monday, we're certain you will be ready to "head out on the town".  So with that in mind, we have planned up a fun filled schedule of cooking classes to ward off any cabin fever that might be settling in.

In addition to our love-filled cooking classes, we will open the Bistro on Sunday February 14th with an exclusive 5 course Valentine's Day Prix Fixe Menu featuring a love-themed Trivia Challenge.  Seating is limited, reservations required.  Call 703-942-8148 Today.
