"Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Yesterday, 11-10-11, was the one month marker of the new Bistro being open. Time flieswhen your having fun. And we are! It's been such a joy to see so many familiar faces. And especially gratifying that lot's of you have been back several times already.
Lunch service, now 2 weeks old, is going well. Each subsequent day has been busier as the word has gotten out. We have a few new items that I love. The salmon gyro is fantastic as is the portabella veggie burger. Come in and see us!
Last weekend we started serving brunch on Saturday's from 10-3 and Sunday's from 9-3. Check out the menu on our website. http://www.djbistro.com/. Favorites are the Pain Perdu, a sausage stuffed French toast, and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. YUM!!!
We received a rave review from Sylvia Rector of the Free Press. Our thanks go out to her. I have known Sylvia for years and swear she was wearing a disguise when she came in because I sure did not see her. When I asked her about it she assured me she can be pretty invisible when she wants to be. Link to her story by clicking here.
On another note, I recently went before the Novi Board of Appeals to request a change in the city ordinance that limits outside seating from April 15 to November 30. I was granted the variance and can serve all year long in our soon-to-be-completed outdoor café. YEAH!
Once open, there will be an additional 24 seats which will cut down on the waiting times for seats. Our biggest challenge right now is learning to cope with a much smaller space. Thanks for bearing with us. We appreciate it very much.
Finally, our specials for the week are BBQ Jumbo Sea Scallops seved with Corn Cakes and Wilted Greens and a Bistro Favorite - Shepherd's Pie!
See you at the Bistro. xxoo
