From La Jambe:
“After a few difficult months of hibernation, we are happy to announce that we are officially back! But that’s not even the best part.
This past year was a tough one to say the least, but through these hard times, your love and support shined through, and we cannot be more grateful to be able to serve you back again in a safer environment.
As of today, we are open every Thursday through Sunday, from 5pm (and 4pm on weekends) to close.
We are slowly rebuilding La Jambe with the goal to start serving brunch soon, re-launching wine tastings and events, as well as opening a streatery next weekend that will add more seating outdoors, and eventually to be open daily again.
The other exciting news is that we can now introduce our new Executive Chef and a truly exciting new menu! (more…)
