I spoke with the guys at Fion last night and got th skinny! so here it is…
First off they are planning on having live music friday and saturday with chef grilling on the patio Friday night through Monday night football. The bistro is in pace to open the beginning of October. Right now they are planning on having a private soft opening in the bistro on October ist with a limited menu for the “Go Texan Restaurant round-Up” that will be offered in the pub and on the patio. On Thursday, October 2nd the restaurant will go live on everything for dinner with a “blue plate special” lunch menu to follow shortly after. They currently have tow menus, dining room and late night. Both will be available to eveyone on both sides and the late night will be available until 11pm on weekdays and midnight on saturday. Both menus are available for viewing at the pub now. The owner informed me thatthe menu is seasonal and will change frequently. He also asked me to express to residents to give them feedback, they will be looking for suggestions/and or comment s from the nighborhood. There will be a comment box at the front that they would like residents to take advantage of.I also asked about the atmosphere and was told that the bistro is a direct extension of the pub. In other words, adult environment. The owner informed me that they are not going to turn kids away but that at the end of the day, they are a wine bar and after certain hours it may not be an appropriate environment for children.
Within a few months of opening, they will also be offering a “take-home gourmet” program that wll include delivery and/or membership with a rotating menu for all family members.
Good luck Fion!!!!!
