The long-awaited opening of the comfort food eatery, El*Ay*Si is finally here, as the restaurant will open this Thursday, December 3rd at 6:00 p.m. They've posted the menu on Facebook and I'm also including it here for your convenience. As you'll notice, since the tastings they held back in October, some items have remained and others have changed. Prices are reasonable and the selection is plentiful but not overwhelming.
As a special offer to all Facebook fans, El*Ay*Si is offering 20% off all bottled wine until 12.31.09. So if you're not yet a fan, join here.
