ELIXIR GETS INTO THE SPIRIT FOR BASTILLE DAY
A lot of wine dinners/special events/promotional menus cross my desk, but this one really made me smile – and really want to be there! In celebration of Bastille Day on Tuesday July 14th, Elixir will feature a special six course menu for $70 per person (!!!). C’est brilliant! Je t’adore!
