After spending my first week on the new job, Assistant Food & Beverage Director at the roger smith hotel, I am proud to announce that I am very happy with my new home! I will post more on the job as I go along and as we host events like tweetups, wine tastings and chef’s dinners. For now I want all of my readers to see the hotel and the restaurant called lilly’s.
There are many funny stories behind both the name of the hotel and the restaurant – the website explains them with some help of Mr. Knowles, the hotels owner. I already feel like I am part of a very special family and all of the colleagues have been welcoming.
Please keep checking my blog and my twitter updates for special events and happenings at the hotel and lilly’s. Most importantly ~ if you are in the area please stop by for a bite to eat and of course a beverage!
We have a new kitchen, new Chef and on November 13th we are planning a grand re-opening of lilly’s.
Stay tuned for details!
