Restaurants plan culinary fireworks for July 4 weekend
July 4 falls on a Saturday this year, and restaurants are taking different tacks to celebrate Independence Day.
I’ve heard from two Dayton-area fine-dining establishments that are planning special, and more relaxed, menus and events: Savona in Centerville will be open starting at noon on July 4 and will be serving Margaritas, Sangria and Beer, Keith Taylor, Savona’s chef-owner, said in an email. . “Outside I will be grilling out Steak and Mahi Tacos, and Italian Sausage. We will be serving pepperoni and cheese Pizza inside.”
L’Auberge in Kettering also will be open on the holiday, and is, in fact, promising “fireworks on the grill,” according to the restaurant’s general manager, Brian DeMarke. Chef Romy Jung will step out of the restaurant’s kitchen and man the grills. Entree choices include the L’Auberge Prime Burger, Salmon Burgers, shrimp or chicken kabobs, and Grilled Flat Iron Steak.
And for those of you in the southern climes, or willing to drive a bit, all of the Montgomery Inn restaurants are offering an all-the-ribs-you-can-eat-for-$19.95 special on July 3, 4 and 5 at all of its restaurants, according to Rick Knapp, general manager of the “original” Montgomery Inn location. Last year, customers polished off a staggering 10 tons of ribs during the full weekend promotion. Knapp said the restaurants are “even going to be open for lunch on Saturday to allow more people the opportunity to take advantage” of the deal, which is for in-house dining only and … no sharing.
One restaurant that I know is taking the holiday off: Rue Dumaine.
