East Side Showroom flooded!

Yes, it's true! We were going to move all the small wares into our beautiful golden kitchen to prepare for the opening of the showroom. ... it hasn't rained in a month until today.

We have a leak. Again we will have to wait to open the new restaurant.

Little Birds

Solstice was quite a celebration with dinner for thirty five at the Rockin' Y Ranch (where apparently Cote Catering has their own room!).

The band was perfect. Eight piece acoustic complete with accordian & washboard who describe themselves as "your favorite band of gypsies from Austin Texas" http://winovino.com/
This very rich menu included:

fresh goat chevre with spicy peach preserves | chicken & duck sausages with shaved fennel | quail liver mousse with sherry | squab paté with chili syrup

Chilled Sweet Corn Bisque with oven dried tomatoes | Marinated Quail on Field Lettuces with blueberry vinaigrette | Pink Pilaf & Mushroom Stuffed Duck with Musketel Pan Ju | Tomato & Chard Gratin | Dark Chocolate Tart with Lavendar Cream | Chilled Zabajone & Fresh Fruit
