Hello All,

It's been a while since I've had a post with some content, and for that I apologize. We've been keeping busy here at Strings, we have recently rolled out or early summer menu and have been developing some events for the near future. The first event is Father's day; for that sunday we will still be doing a $52.80 menu but it will be a menu specially developed for a celebration of grilling. The menu will be mostly grilled items, and we're even considering getting a grill and executing the menu out on the patio, it should be a fun event for everybody's father.

 The new summer menu has also been rolled out, we are starting to use a lot of tomatoes, and other summer ingredients. A few highlights are the smoked pork chop, a simple dish that celebrates grilling season. Also a Pesto Linguine with Shrimp, and heirloom tomatoes is an excellent lighter meal to enjoy out on the patio.

I'm afraid that's all the time I have for now, but check back soon for more updates.

Here's Brian's menu for Sunday:

 Starters

 Heirloom Cherry Tomato Salad, Goat Cheese, Extra Virgin Olive Oil

OR

String's Vichyssoise

Pasta
