 August
1st is national "Sisters Day." Celebrate by sharing a special
dinner created just for sisters!
You'll start by sharing some champagne. Then you'll share a strawberry salad. For
your entrée, you must agree what to share -- grilled salmon Alfredo or chicken Cordon Bleu. Finish by sharing anything on our dessert menu. Total price is $50 per two sisters, plus tax and gratuity.

Enjoy the world's first interactive Happy Hour -- get help from Chef Claus

From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 23, in the Wine Bar, we're trying something new. Chef Claus will talk you through preparing escargot, shrimp scampi or a Caesar salad. Each is priced at $6, whether Claus coaches you to do it yourself, or he makes it for you. You also can get a special glass of wine for only $4. This is too good to miss, so be there!
 Come enjoy our Italian feast on Wednesday, Aug. 22nd. But be warned -- you
will be asked to sing!
We'll gather in the Wine Bar at 7 p.m. to eat, drink and be merry, Italian style. Which means Chef Claus will lead us in rousing choruses of an old Dean Martin song. Or two. See our flyer or web site for the wine pairings. The menu will be Caprese salad with tri-colored tomatoes, shellfish ravioli, watermelon granita, Italian flank steak Braciola, capped by Zabaglione for dessert. Price is $50 per person, plus tax and gratuity.

What to do on a hot August night:
Chill out at one of Chef Claus' cooking classes
We
have a powerful, over-sized air conditioning system here at Le Café
Miche, so you'll always dine in comfort. Add the entertainment
value and cooking savvy you'll get at one of Chef Claus' classes, and
where to go for dinner on a Tuesday night is a no-brainer.
Tuesday, August 7 -- Tonight's menu
begins with Chef Claus showing you how to prepare a "French relleno."
This appealing appetizer is a small bell pepper stuffed with cream
cheese and duck confit, then breaded and deep-fried. The entrée is
a crispy-skin sea bass served with Belgian endive, oranges and Grand
Marnier. Dessert is Peach Melba. Wines will be paired with
each course, as always. From 7 to 9 p.m. in the Wine Bar at $38
