Due to the inclement weather, we have decided to postpone the Urban Restaurant Tour to 4/7/2011.
Fortunately we have been blessed for a full year now with perfect weather every month on the night of the tour. I am happy to say that this is the very first time we have had to postpone! All of our registered guests will be transferred to next week.
Though some of you will be unable to attend due to the short notice, we do still anticipate a very good turnout.
The itinerary and menu will remain the same.
We appreciate your flexibility with rescheduling and are grateful for your understanding and support.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call the shop @ 813-225-1777.
