SEPTEMBER'S CHOW DOWN SPOT:

http://www.ollieirene.com/

Located in Mountain Brook Village,
Ollie Irene is BRAND SPANKIN' NEW!!!
Chris Newsome, local owner, and head chef
opened the restaurant for business last month, naming it after his grandmother.
Chris said he would love to accomodate us for the week of September 19th,
possibly on Wed or Thurs. 
I need to know a definite head count and which day.
He has limited space, and wants to make sure we get the best experience. 

Ollie Irene is new, but already infamous for the fresh,
local and organic items they incorporate into their menu. 
The beer and cocktail selection are especially unique,
and I hear their interesting peach creations are a must to try! 

It might be a risk to try out a shiny, new restaurant with a large party, but... I think it's worth the risk ;)
