Dario reveals this year’s Fall menu Next week, Dario is proud to introduce his Fall lunch and dinner menus. Several new dishes—including ale braised lamb shanks, sous vide duck breast - smoked pork belly and a broiled pork chop— join the repertoire, as Dario continues to emphasize local, seasonal ingredients. Numerous seasonal beers will become available in the next few weeks; these are sure to pair deliciously with our new dishes!

Live music will commence at 6:00 pm and continue into the evening. The Bishops will headline, and three other groups will contribute their talent: Rock Paper Dynamite (with our very own Scott Zrust!), Pony Wars and Solid G.

Lunch and dinner service will continue in the dining room as usual.

Join Dario and the crew next week for another celebration of Belgian beer and gastronomy— inflected, as ever, by the passing of the seasons and the changing availability of fresh, natural ingredients. We will prepare four scrumptious summer-appropriate courses, each with a beer to match. We have invited our colleague Ryan to discuss the characteristics of each beer style, the reasons for each pairing choice, and Belgian brewing lore generally.

As always, space is very limited, so place your reservation today. The dinner will be held on Thursday, August 4th at 7:00 in the evening, and will cost $50 per person. For reservations, call (402) 933-0799.

The summer menu has arrived!

(The blue cheese mussels, steak and frites, and sous vide short ribs haven’t gone anywhere!)

Dundee Day

Dundee Day, a neighborhood street festival in Dundee, is scheduled for August 27th this year, and Dario’s will be in on the fun. Stop by our beer garden for sous vide beer brats, our famous burgers, and the best beer in the neighborhood—plus live music starting at 6:00pm. We’ll include all the details in next month’s newsletter.

Saison, perhaps our favorite summer beer, is a refreshing and complex low-alcohol style of pale ale traditionally brewed in farmhouses for consumption by farm workers; this family will be represented by Hennepin, a spicy, citrusy, well-hopped Saison by Brewery Ommegang from Cooperstown, New York. Flemish Red Ale is a fascinating oddity, a sweet-and-sour style with notes of fine balsamic, tart cherries, and malty sweetness; its balanced intensity makes it surprisingly quaffable and food-friendly. Our pick in this style is Monk’s Cafe by Brouwerij van Steenberge. Gouden Carolus Cuvee van de Keizer Rood, a bright, blonde and delicious strong golden ale, and Kasteel Cuvee du Chateau, a rich and malty strong dark ale, will round out the program.

As ever, Dario’s classic, comforting, seasonally focused cuisine will serve as complement and counterpoint for these outstanding ales.

Place your reservation soon — call us at (402) 933-0799 — as seating is limited and sure to fill quickly. The dinner will take place on Wednesday, June 29th at 7:00 in the evening, and will cost $50.
