CAFE AEBY IS CLOSING

To all Cafe patrons and friends,

I am sorry to announce we will be closing the doors to the restaurant on August 29 for good. It has been a wonderful seven years, and we are grateful for all of you who have supported us and the restaurant.

Unfortunately, due to the current times, our business has been cut in half and is no longer financially viable. I wish I could name each and every one of you who has touched my heart, made me laugh and challenged me to try to be the best. The restaurant has changed so much since day one, and so many of you kept right there with us. To all of you, I sincerely thank you for your faithfulness.

We will be open for two more weeks, so you can still come in one last time and enjoy yourselves. I will be doing a few special dinners and cooking classes. Stay tuned to the blog for final event postings.

I will miss having the restaurant and having you to pour my soul into. Simply said, I will miss cooking for you.

All our love and appreciation,
Chris, Krystal and the rest of the Cafe Aeby family

SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL: AUG. 15

Hi everyone,

This Saturday, August 15, I will be by myself in the kitchen. I don't want to close the restaurant completely, so we've decided to offer a special four-course menu at a very affordable price, similar to last month's. The dinner begins at 7PM. Seating is limited to 20 people, so reservations are required for that evening. Cost is $45. per person; wine pairing, additional $25. per person. The menu will be posted shortly, but you can pre-reserve your spot: (361) 225-0329.

ITALIAN WINE DINNER

Thank you to everyone who came to July's Italian Wine Dinner. I'd especially like to thank our special guests, the ahhhhdorable Amber of Painfully Hip, delightful Diana of Well Worn Road and ridiculouslyfunny Rory of Awesome All Day. They made quite the trip, and we are still stoked that they made a stop in Corpitos for a short, but amazingly productive, few days. If you don't obsessively check out their blogs daily, you, ummm, should. More on the insanely intense Painfully Hip Design Collective & PRODUCE (aka the geniuses who brought you SUSHIBAR) collaborative photo shoot to come, but for now, feast your eyes on the menu du jour:
