Ripe's Romantic Culinary Adventure Week-End

February 13, 2009

"Romantic Culinary Adventure Weekend".


Ripe steps up "Romance Month"

February 13th-15th, 2009.

There will be a special Prix Fixe Menu on offer

An exploration into the foods that make us feel “passionate”

Most of our regulars have realized it’s an excellent alternative to those pricey overcrowded restaurants with superior pricing and inferior food.

Nigel can vouch for that--he has worked at many of them!!!

The Valentine's menu tends to lean heavily on seafood, and usually includes some surprises.

Ripe offers better quality ingredients than most of the so called "downtown" restaurants without the price tag to match, because of Nigel's close relationship with his fish guys at the Fulton Fish Market. Above all, the food is executed by a chef that is passionate about his customers, not the bottom line!!!

This event is not to be missed, and gets booked SOLID very quickly, so BOOK NOW, before the rush-don’t say we didn’t warn you!!!

By the time you get to dessert you should definitely be feeling the love.

The Mango Mousse & Death by Chocolate selections are pure decadence!
They are rich, thick and moist...we leave the rest to you……

Happy Valentine’s Day, do it Ripe Today!!!
