I haven't blogged for a couple of weeks, wasn't sure anyone was actually reading it. Today I got an email from a first time customer, that my blog was actually being read. So, I thought maybe I should stick with it. Monday and Tuesday of these week are moving days for the Schott household, a lot to do. But over the years we have moved a lot and I think I have it down to a science, we'll see.
This weekend was not a great weekend for the restaurant business in Narrowsburg, New York, but typically this time of the year isn't. Politics, economy and nasty weather always has an effect on how many people are in the dining room. Saturday was a rainy nasty day and if I hadn't had to be anywhere I would have been home. Sunday brunch is a new thing for us and as with any new offering it will take a little time. Peter has created a wonderful menu for brunch and it will be a hit once people start discovering it.
I have been reading a lot about restaurants in this economic climate and the possiblities of offering a economy friendly menu. We have discussed this at length and are considering doing this at our restaurant, maybe on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We toss it around and try to figure how to do it and stay true to what we do, which is upscale, casual fine dining. Food cost always must come into play when considering something like this, because face it we are in the business to make money. But I will say that Peter is the best at making a menu work for our benefit. So look for us to do something special beginning sometime in November.
So as I said earlier, today is moving day, which means high speed internet may not be something I have for a while. That is one of the downsides of living in the country. It will be hard to blog with dial up, but we'll see what happens. Remeber comments and emails are always welcome from my blog reader's. Have a great week and come see us at the Restaurant if you get a chance.
