Well, its past 20 years that Flying Star (or Double Rainbow of years past) has been both tempting locals with sweets and pissing off damn near everyone it seems with their price increases.

I have defended Jean and Mark in the past, and I will continue to do so, and I will also start bitching the moment things start going downhill.  I send emails monthly to Jean letting her know that something tastes awesome or that the coffee pots aren’t changed frequently enough, and it is this kind of feedback that keeps restaurateurs on their toes and serving the public - which is of course the way that they remain profitable.

So, they begin to break ground in Santa Fe, and also near completion of a huge Bernalillo complex combining work, eats, and residential units.

Jay Wulf at the Greenside Cafe has rather frequent wine dinners, exploring some new item he found or a wine that just had to be bought on a great recommendation.

Last fall there was an oyster fiesta, of course recently a Valentine’s dinner was held, and now the next several weeks hold the promise of Italian delights.  See the menu below:
