Well ~  like they say – time flies when you’re having fun…. But we are excited to jump into 2012 and see our friends and family at the Rhody Cafe!  We had a great R & R and Carol, Don and Staff ventured far and wide -  Colorado, Maui, The Big Island, California, and more! 

We really do appreciate being able to get away, do some exploring and relaxing, do some much needed maintenance and contemplate the past year and get ready for the next! Thank you for that and We are ready for 2012.

Through February we will feature the cuisines of countries around the Mediterranean.  This is a fun and varied month with lots of classic dishes as well as  some exotic fare from North Africa, Turkey, etc.

Special Note:  We will be open for Valentines Dinner on Tuesday, February 14 and are taking reservations for 2 or more!

Also… the Rhody Too Gallery next door will reopen Friday, February 3 ~  All Jewelery will be 20% off through the month

Read on for this week’s specials and we look forward to seeing you in!
