Cafe 20 Summer 2010

Dear friends and supporters of cafe 20,

We are back! After quite a long stint abroad and enough inspiration to last at least a couple of years, cafe 20 has decided to go Italian for the moment. We are hoping to offer dinners for the first week in August. Each night will feature a different region of Italy.

Through our travels and our newly found taste for wine, we have come to appreciate the ability wine has to highlight and compliment food. Taking this one step further we feel that it is important to have wine appropriate to the type of cooking, or region of cooking seved. While in the past we have never offered wine with your dinner, this August we are raising the price slightly to $25 a person and pairing each meal with either a glass of wine or an aperativo specific to the region featured that night.

Thus, we invite all of you to join us in august for what we hope will be the most memorable stint of cafe 20 yet.

Now let's briefly talk logistics. As for making reservations, please stay tune as we will be sending a message in the following weeks for the details of reservation making. In addition, if you happen to not be of age to participate in our experimental wine accompaniment you will only be responsible for the original price of $20. We still strongly encourage you to bring your own bottles of wine, and will continue to have no corkage fee for any bottle that you do bring.

We really appreciate all the support that you have given us, and none of this would be possible without your help. We hope to see you all there.

Opening Night

Friends and Family,

This weekend will be the grand opening of Cafe 20. For those of you who don't know, Cafe 20 is a three course prix fixe meal for $20. The Cheese Board Collective has been extremely kind and supportive, and has let us use Cheese Board Pizza on sunday nights at 7:00pm. If you would like to drink wine, we will provide glasses for you, but we request that you bring your own wine with no corkage fee.


There are twenty slots available every week. To book a reservation visit our online site:
http://www.supersaas.com/schedule/sutcher/Summer . If you would like to follow us on our blog visit cafe-20.blogspot.com . Due to high demand for seats, reservations are only available two weeks in advance. We expect for seats to fill up quickly, and strongly suggest that even though a week may be full, that you put your reservation on the waiting list where you will be placed into a spot as as they open up (which they often do). We are really looking forward to the upcoming weeks and hope to see you all there.

Sincerely,

Chefs
