Terrace View to Create New Urban Dining Experience
ST. LOUIS, MO, (SLFP.com), June, 2009 - Terrace View, a new café that will be part of downtown St. Louis' new City Garden, at 8th and Chestnut streets, will be operated by veteran St. Louis restaurateur Jim Fiala.
Fiala is happy to be moving into a brand new facility that comes with a dramatic setting. He says, "No matter where a person sits, he or she is going to have a great view of this beautiful garden." Terrace View will offer casual dining for 50 patrons in the dining room and 50 more on the outdoor patio.
Fiala said "I am excited to be part of this project. I love being in downtown St. Louis. We have had a great experience working with the city at Liluma." In addition to Liluma in St. Louis' Central West End, Jim Fiala is owner of The Crossing in Clayton and Acero in Maplewood.
Terrace View's opening is slated for early July, in time for the All-Star Game.
Terrace View's urban dining experience will feature food served on small plates, allowing diners to sample a variety of menu items. Food from local growers and suppliers will compose the major portion of Terrace View's menu. Terrace View choices will include a handful of selections from Jim Fiala's other restaurants, as well as many items and flavors that will be exclusive to Terrace View.
Jim Fiala's background includes cooking in top restaurants in New York City, Chicago and San Francisco. He moved back to his hometown of St. Louis to raise his family in 1997. In 1998, he opened The Crossing in Clayton.
Terrace View will be open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. The restaurant will be open late for dinner, drinks and desserts after Cardinals' night games at nearby Busch Stadium.
Diners can enjoy unique views of sculpture by national and international artists including: di Suvero, Rickey, Fernand Leger, Mimmo Paladino and Ju Ming. See related article, City Garden Unfolding on the Gateway Mall.
Phantom of the Grand 'Ole Opry
Through July 2009
Millions of people flock to the Grand Ole Opry House (Bissell Mansion) to see Tammy Whino's one woman show, "Stand By Your Man - Even Though He's a No-Good Worthless Drunk, Who Lives Off Your Royalties." Poor Tammy can't live on her royalties, which is why she's still performing instead of retiring to the Bahamas with her own stash of botox. Tammy's temper tantrums got her thrown out of the Golden Nugget in Vegas, so Wayne Newton banished her to Branson. Here, amid the fried chicken, line dancing and dinner theatre, Tammy is the Queen of the Grand Ole Opry. Or is she?
There are rumors that the Opry is haunted. Some say that Elvis Presley himself, the King of Rock and Roll, isn't really dead. After rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic, he emerged clean and sober and vowed since he had conquered Rock and Roll, it was now time to conquer Country Western. But after Elvis made his debut, he ate a peanut butter and jelly doughnut laced with ...? Did he survive? Could Elvis be lurking beneath the catacombs of the Opry? When Tammy Whino is found murdered, many suspect Elvis.
So, ya all come down and help Kenny Rogeers, Dolly Pardon and all your favorite country western singers as they try to apprehend Tammy Whino's KILLER. Perhaps the Phantom of the Grand Ole Opry will be revealed to the audience, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Make your reservations now; It would be a CRIME to miss out on this much FUN! Call the Bissell Mansion at 314-533-9830 or 1-800-690-9838.
