6 Course tasting menu with 6 fabulous wines (not available lake side). In our kitchen we have
Chef Glenroy Anderson , Chef Greg Couillard and Chef Julian Martinez...French meets Jamaican meets Mexican! we call it JAM-MEXI-CAN! ha!
Kimmie at the door, and Noe and Roy"Sax" on the stage. Live music and dancing
(and boy at last weeks tasting, dance YOU DID!...I think there was even some extra singers as well no? LOL ) from 3:00 - 6:00. We are offering these tasting menu's at basically a break even price to thank our customers for their loyalty over the past four years, but also to invite new people that may not have had the oportunity to eat at NumberFOUR as of yet. These are very special afternoons, we limit the seating to 80 people...Come eat and drink and dance with us...
you will be home with your feet up by 6:30! Two dates available in June Mondays June 11 and 25..
Just call or contact us through restaurantnumberfour.com. See you there!

First line above: It would appear that the six courses and wines are "not available lakeside". Interesting.
Also, what is that "break even price"? Curious minds like to know these details before venturing forth..

OH YEA!!! thats the best part! $400 pesos thats it thats ALL!!!! Includes wine and food and music and and and!!!
Its a wonderful event...we are really proud of it! and I meant the wines are not available lakeside...we bring them in
through our distributor called Viparmex from Guadalajara...They are responsible for all of our wine at FOUR...one of the reps will be there to answer any questions about the wines...Also he will bring some to sell if you want to purchase them at a discounted
retail price! the whole idea is to sample some food and wine that is normally not availabe in these parts! Last week, some of
the food courses where from our menu and some not...I will have the menus available a little closer to the dates, but dont wait
tooooo long to book, we had to turn people away last time! the first menu will be posted on our website by mid next week!

check our website for any info you need restaurantnumberfour.com, I try to keep it as current as possible with weekly events etc.!

Our hours are Thursday and Friday from 6:00 to close , Saturday and Sunday from 2:00 to close
Close time depends on the business this time of year...but normally quite late, as we have live music every night except sunday
so there ususaly a crowd that stays to dance! Off season we are closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for now.
Thanks!

hi there...we haven't really thought that through...it would be a shame not to try the wines with the courses, but sure, we can work something out! I wonder if my bartender can come up with six kinds of ice tea! LOL!,,,call me...

FYI for ArtSnob: The June Thursday specials at Number 4 are a good deal too, and don't require the purchase of vino.

This past Thursday-only June prix fixe special was great. The Asian duck breast was excellent! You can opt for 3 courses on the special menu (had 3 choices under each course, I think), or you can pick any 2 courses and get a glass of wine or a margarita included instead. For 250 pesos this was a fun meal at a great price.

Looking forward to more Thursdays in June!

Kim, keep posting the menu for that special, thanks.
