Send some Happy Birthday wishes to some of the restos celebrating their anniversaries this month and join in their festivities! Start with ~HOG & ROCKS~ on Sunday July 10th from 3pm-7pm. They’re partying with oysters in a variety of preparations, a whole roasted pig, platters of ham, fried bites, and more; and in the way of drinks, Tres Agaves margaritas, Maker’s Mark bourbon whiskey, and some beers too. Eat and drink freely for $25.
~ACQUERELLO~ is turning 22 on Tuesday July 12th, and all guests who come in to dine that evening will be offered complimentary bubbly and a surprise from the chef. (Have you eaten there since I posted my review not too long ago? You really should.)
Make a toast to ~MAVERICK~’s six years on Wednesday July 13th with a glass of bubbly, gratis for guests who order dinner.
