It’s been a great media week for both The Short Story Brasserie and our sister store, The Wine Cache.  Our restaurant received national attention in The Wine Spectator August Issue, Restaurant Guide with over 2.5 million subscribers.

Not only was The Short Story Brasserie selected to receive The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence - “for lists that offer a well-chosen selection of quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style…”, but our restaurant and wine list made it to the main article. Of all the other award winners our program was interviewed and highlighted in the main article.

The Short Story Brasserie has quickly risen in the ranks on OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice Lists by landing top ten entries in two lists.  OpenTable is the website that powers the restaurant’s online reservations.

• Notable Wine List               # 2
