restaurant will be open to the public on February 7th. Starting at 7
a.m.
As you know, our community is in need of an upscale restaurant. I am
proud to present the community with one. Nearly $500,000 went into
the renovations of the (old Marie Callendar/Joseph location)
building. I want our residents to think of Mattye's Bistro as the
place to bring their out of town guests as well as the spot to hear
great live jazz 4 days a week.
Our seating capacity is 300. With a maximum capacity at 400. We have
2 bars in the restaurant. One to accommodate the restaurant guests.
The other to accommodate those crazy Laker fanatics.
Our house specialty is fried ribs. The menu has over 125 items! The
cooking staff is directed by James Jackson, former owner of "3J's"
fish restaurant. Mr. Jackson has a 30 member cooking force
specializing in everything from "grits to lobster."
Ingrid Holliday, is the GM of the restaurant. I "kidnapped" Ingrid
from the Ritz Carlton in Marina del Rey. Ingrid, along with her hand
pick staff of 90 will make sure our guests received the greatest TLC
while visiting the restaurant.
Again, look forward to seeing you.

It seemed to tell the world that Martin Luther King is about more than "I Have a Dream" and a day off work. I walked up to the memorial to photograph it and pay my respects, but was unprepared for the thoughts and feelings that would soon envelop me."
