Greetings!
 Oysters, romantic dinners, flourless chocolate mini-cakes with passion fruit... Yep, it's a regular love fest around here this month. Sure, some of us used to be in love with our Wachovia dividends but we're moving on. It's February and we're celebrating. Actually, Diamondback has a long history of people finding true love right here. Nine couples who worked at the Diamondback Grill have fallen in love and gotten married. We've always figured Cupid's kinda lazy so he just sits at our bar and shoots off his wierd little arrows every now and then. But anyway, it's going you to be a fantastic February and we want you to join us for the fun.
We thank you for a great January. We're always psyched to put all that Christmas cra... oops we mean special Christmas items away. January was so much fun and we've had lots of big crowds at our Oysterfests and other events. We thank many of you for coming on in and bringing a bunch of good folks with you. A long, cold winter is always a whole lot more exciting with a bunch of friends. | |

 ARTISTS ON VIEW
This month at the Diamondback: an art show by local popular artists Ellen Christian and Sally Corpening. These pieces are bright, colorful and they don't seem to stay on our walls very long.
For more information on prices and availability -- just ask a member of the Diamondback staff. |
 WARM IT UP AT THE WINE BAR
Did you know the Diamondback serves 45 wines by the glass? Come in and let us help you pick out a wine that complements your meal whether you're having filet or New Orleans roasted chicken. We also serve wintery drinks that will warm you from the inside out. Try our hot buttered rum or irish coffee. |
 TOASTED BUNS WITH EVERY MEAL
Yes, the Diamondback has a real fire going every single night of the week. You won't have to chop wood or replace logs -- in fact, all you'll have to do is relax and warm your backside. We also have free Wi-fi -- so if you need a comfortable place to work, well, just head on over. |
We thank you for a busy January and we can't wait to see you soon! Thank you for supporting the Diamondback and for making it a fun place to be.
We're looking forward to lots of good times in February and we hope you'll join us. And if we can help you plan a party this year -- just let us know. Thanks! -Kimberly and Murphy Gregg |
