Mezze Restaurant Group Announces Value-Added Menus + Thanksgiving Dinner Service
11:05AM / Thursday, November 13, 2008
WILIAMSTOWN, Mass – In celebration of the fall harvest and upcoming winter season, the Mezze Restaurant Group has reinstituted value-added dining specials at all three of its sister restaurants in addition to special events including Thanksgiving dinner service at Mezze Bistro + Bar.
Mezze Bistro + Bar
Comfort Sundays will return to Mezze Bistro + Bar with a selection of seasonal comfort foods. In an effort to promote the “Shop Local” message on November 16, Mezze has partnered with The Browns, a clothing and accessories boutique located next door, to present a relaxed fashion show with models strolling through the bistro dining room during dinner service hours.
On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, Mezze Bistro will offer traditional fare from the abundant fall harvest of local farms. The holiday menu will include a choice of locally grown salad greens or butternut squash soup with crème fraiche as a first course followed by natural turkey with apple sausage stuffing, potato puree and giblet jus. Sides include roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, and maple sweet potatoes served family style. Dessert highlights comprise a choice of local pumpkin pie, apple tarte tatin and pear crisp. Thanksgiving dinner service is available from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. The cost is $45 per person and reservations are requested.
Chef Joji Sumi is committed to the ‘buy local’ mission providing a wide range of fresh, seasonal foods from neighboring family farms, celebrating the bounty of the Berkshire region. Located in downtown Williamstown at 16 Water Street, Mezze Bistro + Bar serves dinner nightly beginning at 5 p.m.
Café Latino
Café Latino’s value-added Loco Ocho series features a Chef’s Choice prix fixe menu – two courses for $16 or three for $24 – and will continue every Thursday throughout the winter season.
Called “best museum restaurant ever visited” by Travel + Leisure Magazine in 2008 and awarded Editors’ Choice in Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England in 2007, Café Latino is conveniently located on the MASS MoCA campus in North Adams with ample available parking. The restaurant serves Nuevo Latino cuisine crafted by Chef Omar Montoya alongside a Latino-inspired cocktail menu and wine list. Café Latino serves lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch and is closed on Tuesdays.
Allium
Every week through May, allium will feature Comfort Sundays with a Chef's Choice prix fixe menu of two courses for $20 or three courses for $25. Leading up to the holidays, allium will host a trunk show every Thursday in December from 5 -9 p.m. A list of weekly trunk show events with descriptions will be available on the website.
Back by popular demand, allium presents Ten-dollar Tuesdays with hand-tossed, wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas offered for $10 and Lucky Thirteen: $13 chef-selected pizza with toppings, changing weekly.
Opened in May 2007, allium serves New American cuisine with Chef Joe Nastro’s varying seasonal menu focusing on local, farm-fresh ingredients, and features an exceptional, well-chosen wine list to accompany dinner offerings. Selected as Editors’ Choice in Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England in 2008, allium has also been awarded Boston Magazine’s Best New Restaurant of 2007. The restaurant is located in downtown Great Barrington at 42 Railroad Street, and serves dinner nightly beginning at 5 p.m.
