Open That Bottle Night

February 27th, 2010--Elements will host our latest annual installment of Open That Bottle Night--started by the Wall Street Journal.

         We all have one.  That special bottle of wine. You know the one we mean.  That red or white we purchased because it was served at our wedding or our children's wedding day. Maybe it was bought to celebrate the birth of a child, or picked up on that trip to wine country or on your first or second honeymoon.   It has a special meaning with wonderful memories attached.  It's that bottle that you put away for that special occasion, waiting for just the right moment to share with family or friends.  Has the right time never come?  Has that bottle been sitting there collecting dust?  Don't let that bottle go to waste.  Here's the chance to open it up and let the memories spill out.  On 'Open the Bottle Night'  Saturday, February 27th, 2010 people around the country will be uncorking that special bottle of wine to dine and reminisce about just what that red or white means to them.

        Come join us at Elements and bring along that special bottle.  We will be serving two price fixe menus that evening.  One designed to complement white wines and one to complement reds. Each menu will consist of five courses and will be $40.00 per person.    So whether it's a cozy dinner for two, or a gathering of friends,  open the bottle and uncork the memories!

  To make reservations please call us at 856-546-8840, or use our convenient online reservation link to Open table also located on our website.

I've got an idea

Did you have an idea and not write it down? Well I'm going start writing things down. Here's the first one.

Fred's Fancy-- a five course tasting menu for $40 presented upon request after 8pm on Fridays. Fred will cook impromptu dishes that might be a future menu item or a spontaneous creation. It'll never be the same meal twice, so don't ask.

Well there you have it, this will be developed and promoted through our newsletter and website. If your one of the first to read this let your server know you read it on this blog and you'll get $5 off per person of Fred's Fancy.

We'll I thought our first post should be about our next upcoming event--Haddon Heights Taste of the Town. This is second year presenting this event with Anthony's and Kunkel's. With it being such a huge success last year we thought we had to do it again. Here is a copy of our menu and for a printable version go to www.elementscafe.com
