TWO NEW BEERS coming out this week!

A Proper Stout (6.5% abv) and Honey Saison — Come on by and check them out. Not to mention: You better try the Oktoberfest and the historical brew Gratzer before they're gone!

Love a leisurely late dinner? Ocean Boulevard Bistro & Martini Bar seats for dinner until 10 p.m. nightly (through Daylight Savings Time). With so many restaurants closing early, we have noticed a marked increase in late diners.

Our menu has shifted into some fall menu items, and one that is very noteworthy is our new Duck Breast Dish with Chestnut Flour Spaetzle, Seared Brussels Sprouts, Duck Leg Confit, Sweet Potato Puree + Alpine Meadows Honey. Trust us: It's awesome, and it pairs well with a substantial Cabernet or Syrah!

CUSTOM BIRTHDAY CAKES! Muffins and Scones is more than a coffee shop and restaurant. Our bakery prepares custom cakes and desserts for all occasions or just to brighten someone's day. Stop by our Avon location or call (252) 968-5109. We are open daily from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This week's DATE NIGHT DINNER features Cabernet-Braised Slow-Roasted Beef Short Ribs served on Sweat Pea Parmesan Risotto topped with a Cabernet Sauce. Our House Sommelier has paired this with a 2017 Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano with aromas of brandy-soaked plums and cherries and vanilla, dill and sandalwood on the nose. The palate of this wine is thick in feel, built up by a host of oaky flavors. It pairs amazingly with this dish.

Join us this Friday, October 16. Call (252) 995-5550 for your reservation.
