Shevek & Co Restaurant

This means that we prepare each dish from scratch to order using the finest ingredients. We encourage our guests to take as much time and care savoring their meal as we take preparing it. Creating a less stressful and more pleasurable and healthful dining experience is our ultimate goal. Therefore, if you are in a hurry, please return at a time when you can relax and dine with us. As a member of the Green Chamber of Commerce we have made a commitment to reduce our carbon footprint and to use and encourage sustainable agriculture. This goes beyond just changing lightbulbs and our ongoing commitment to recycling. To enhance the dining experience for all concerned, we request that our guests turn their pagers & cellphones off (or at least set them to "vibrate"). If you must use your cell-phone, so as to avoid disturbing our other guests (and to improve your reception) we request you step out of the main dining room. Cell phone use in the bar and on the patio is perfectly acceptable. For decades, retailers have been "fudging" their prices. When they feel they need another dollar for a given item but fear the increase in price will hurt business, they charge 95¢ or 99¢ so we won't notice. Well, it's time for honest pricing. We're not just pretending to lower prices, we've reduced them an average of 15% while keeping the same great quality for which we've been known for years. We want you to enjoy your wine or beer as much as we enjoy serving them to you.
