It’s Baaaaaaaaack. . .Prix-Fixe Menu Returns Tonight!

After a three-month hiatus for retooling, we’re very pleased to announce that Carpe Vino’s much-loved prix-fixe program debuts tonight in a new, simplified format.  We’re kicking off the revamped series by reprising one of our most popular themes, “Totally Tomatoes,” taking advantage of this luscious, delectable vegetable (though technically a fruit) during the peak of harvest.

Before unveiling the menu, here is an overview of changes to the program:

1.  We’ll offer a prix-fixe menu every other month instead of monthly, but it will run for two weeks instead of just one.  Creating a new, 10-dish, prix-fixe every month was an onerous task for Chef Alexander and his kitchen crew.  Shifting back to our regular menu after just one week was also very inefficient; we think this new scheduling is ideal.

2.  The regular Carpe Vino menu will be offered in tandem with the prix-fixe, so  your options are wide open.  Order the prix-fixe (no substitutions, please), order from the regular menu or select items from both (prix-fixe items are can be purchased á la carte). . .it’s your choice.

3.  Instead of 10 dishes, there will be six:  two appetizer choices; soup; two entrée choices; one dessert.

Pricing is unchanged– $59.95 per person plus tax and tip; reservations are recommended by calling 530-823-0320 or going online to www.opentable.com.
