We’ve officially added a second weekend of Manda

We’ve officially added a second weekend of Mandarava at Asa Stone Barn. This one is a bit richer, as we are staying the long weekend onsite and not returning to Mandarava to serve Sunday supper (as we will do in May). In November we’ll stay cozy and luxuriate.

Couples rooms are waitlisted, please inquire to join the queue.

What is available is the charming bunk room, which provides prime sleepover conditions. Come with a friend or make a new one, you can’t go wrong.

This is a Dan Dahari appreciation post.

He welcomes you at dinner; he fixes your drinks. He keeps the room warm in any weather.

He is our barman, our beverage director and bookings manager.

Truth be told, he is also the restauranteur in the family and has been co-writing our dinner menus for years.

He’s responsible for the music spinning, via @mandaravarecordcorner and often inexplicably plays a guests favorite artist as he did last night. He even lights the candles.

Thank you @gossamerdram @rhinokey

We closed sales early for tomorrows take-away menu

We closed sales early for tomorrows take-away menu due to the weather making it impractical to race around last minute.

On the bright side, that means orders are open early for next Monday — and this favorite favorite fritter dinner topped off by the most beloved LEMON POPPY CUPCAKES. Yes, the ones with zippy curd in the middle of a swirl of buttercream. Gah.

With barely a whisper of this happening, we are ne

These tacos are so yummy.

So we made rum cakes for a friends’ son’s Bar

So we made rum cakes for a friends’ son’s Bar Mitzvah a couple years ago, and apparently one of the guests has been talking about how to get more ever since.
We finally went for it yesterday and shipped cross country — to the original rum cake lover and a second willing recipient. They both arrived intact!
It’s been a real small business big win sort of day over here.
