Greetings!
Join us for a glorious Mother's Day celebration this Sunday, May 9. Dads, you need to get those kiddies and head on over. Mom will be happy, the kids will be happy and you'll get to watch the NBA Playoffs.
pink champagne
Ahh, glorious May.  Sunny skies, beautiful flowers, birds singing ... it's all good. Of course, there's not a mother of school-aged kiddies in this town who has time to notice any of that, because May is a month of insanity with car pools, soccer games, lacrosse games, EOGs (ahhh!), ballet rehearsals, volunteer everything, pictures, little Lulu's end-of-the-year party and upcoming moments of crying children who forgot to mention that they have a major project due, well, tomorrow. Dads, you hold on tight, take out the garbage and attempt to stay under the radar, or you'll end up sewing a ballet costume. Come to think of it, if you're the husband of a busy wife, this month we recommend that you offer to pick up dinner from the Diamondback.  You'll relax for a moment; have Phillip and Jason, our professional bartenders, listen to your concerns and serve you a nice scotch on the rocks, and then you can walk that dinner right on home. Everyone wins.
 
Special note from Murphy -- Kimberly certainly doesn't know I'm adding this to this e-mail at the last minute and she will be horrified but just wanted her to know that I love her and wish her the best on her, well, let's just say significant birthday -- May 5th!  xxxs M

Great month ahead
We do have lots of great things ahead: we're starting off with a bang with Hope du Jour tonight followed by Cinco de Mayo tomorrow.   This week we're also getting ready for our special Mother's Day celebration with mimosas, champagne and a special dinner menu. Cool moms do prefer the Diamondback.

Happy May

Enjoy the beauty of the spring everyone and bring the whole family over to the DB for a great night out. Or stop in with a big group to watch the playoffs. Should be a great month -- we hope to see you right here.

Mother's Day Dinner
Sunday, May 9
Bar opens at 5:00 pm (for those with more difficult mothers) Dinner service at 5:30 pm

We go all-out around here on Mother's Day. In fact, Murphy and our chefs have been working on a special Mother's Day menu for weeks in order to get ready for this Sunday night. Fun moms would rather come to the Diamondback for dinner because they know the kids can relax, Dads can watch a game on tv and there's a nice glass of white wine with their name on it.  Join us this Sunday night for a wonderful evening. For reservations, call (336) 722-0006.

You know that the warm temperatures are starting to arrive when we start serving up Murphy's famous gourmet gazpacho. It's a delicate blend of fresh ingredients -- fresh tomatoes and crunchy vegetables seasoned with herbs.  It's not available all the time, but when it is -- it's a popular item. Great with a glass of light white wine from our new wine list. We'll also be serving lots of fresh greens, veggies and other spring delights this month, so head on over and feel healthy.

Krankies roasts our delicious Diamondback blend for us.  Try a cup after dinner and stay for awhile. A nice, hot cup of Krankies coffee can sometimes make you feel, well, a little less cranky.
