The Monthly Lunch Returns

Many of you have been inquiring about whether we would resume the monthly lunches that we held last year in the Grand Ballroom. The answer is YES, and the first one will be Wednesday, October 21.

The format will be a little different in that:

The lunch will be served in the President's Room (restaurant) on the first floor.

It will be a combination buffet/served meal. The first course options will be buffet style and this will be set in the bar area. The offerings will include soup, salads, shrimp cocktail, fruit, as well as additional items. The main entree, however, will be a choice and a server will take your order and the plate will be cooked to order.

For this initial lunch the entree choices are:

- Filet Mignon with Sauce Bearnaise
- Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast with Thyme Gremolata
- Atlantic Salmon with Basil Aioli
- Vegetarian Stuffed Bell Peppers


All entrees will be accompanied by Asparagus and Dauphinois Potatoes

Dessert will be a Gourmet Cupcake in a box, served to go.

Non-Alcoholic beverages are included in the menu and the entire lunch is $16.00 per person. Gratuity is NOT included in the $16.00 price.

So call The Phoenix at 513-721-8901 to make your reservation now for Lunch at The Phoenix on Wednesday, October 21. Seating begins at 11am.

Best Wishes to all and hope you can make it!
