The Rosemary Cafe will be welcoming patrons back

today after two weeks of extensive renovations, giving the restaurant

a fresh new look. Regular customers will also be greeted by

two new faces, as Kevin and Kristin Flaherty have recently

assumed ownership and will introduce several new dishes to the

already popular menu.

The couple, just married last week, will run the restaurant

personally acting as both head chef and manager respectively.

They said they will continue the Italian stream yet the menu can be

generally descibed as American Fusion Cuisine.

Kevin, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in

Hyde Park, New York, has had over 16 years experience as head chef

for several private restaurants.

"I'm a hands-on chef for both dinner and lunch," Flaherty

said. "The people of Peachtree City deserve a good restaurant."

Signature dishes at The Rosemary Cafe include a stuffed

filet mignon with Wisconsin Brie cheese wrapped in

Applewood bacon.

Furthermore, the menu will be extended to include a wider

variety of seafood, which Kevin says is provided fresh from the

market three to five days a week.

Kevin recommends the blackened grouper over sweet

potato, jalepeno, rock shrimp hash.

Kevin also has plans to begin offering prepared entrees to

go. Patrons will be able to call in orders early for all of the

signature dishes such as veal and chicken parmasan and pick

them up.

Kristin Flaherty will run the day to day business as the

operations manager.

The Rosemary Cafe is open for lunch Monday through

Friday from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Dinner hours are Monday

through Thursday from 5:30-8:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from

5:30-9:30 p.m. It is closed on Sunday.

Reservations are recommended for parties of four or more

on weekends. Prices range from $6-$8 for lunch and $11.99-16.99

for dinner.

The Rosemary Cafe has been voted in both 1997 and 1998

as Best Restuarant by Atlanta Magazine.

"It's going to be that much better," Kevin said. "We

guarentee your going to leave here satisfied."
