From March 8th through the 11th, they're offering 50 percent off all menu items. Does that mean we should eat twice as much? Probably not, but we'll be tempted.
In addition, the Big 3 will be debuting its new Wine Bar, in partnership with the Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Alliance. This unique tasting room and education center will feature only Sonoma Valley designate products. It's slated to open March 5, 2010.
