STEW LEONARD'S GRILL AT CALF PASTURE BEACH BRINGS BACK ‘CATCH OF THE DAY' DINNERS FOR FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND

Alfresco Dining Features Gourmet Seafood Dinners Prepared by Private Chef

NORWALK, Conn., June 5, 2007 –Just in time for Father’s Day weekend, Stew Leonard’s Grill at Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, Connecticut announces the return of the popular “Catch of the Day” dinners, held on Friday and Saturday nights from 6:00 P.M. until 9:00 P.M.

The dinners are served alfresco style under a lighted tent on the beach, with Stew Leonard’s chefs preparing the grilled menu items right in front of the customer.  The menu includes a choice of grilled salmon, scallop kebabs, filet mignon, porterhouse steak or lobster, along with fresh corn on the cob, baked potato and a drink for $19.99.  Along with “catch of the day” specials, the new menu will also offer appetizer selections such as steamed mussels and shrimp cocktail, as well as dessert options, including Stew Leonard’s signature cheesecake. The “Catch of the Day” dinners begin on Friday, June 15 and will run every weekend through September 15.  Live music is also planned on most weekends.

“The ‘Catch of the Day’ dinners really caught on with our customers when we introduced them last summer,” said Rafael Hernando, Stew Leonard’s Grill at Calf Pasture Beach manager. “It is a wonderful way for families to enjoy a nice meal in a casual setting overlooking the beach, all at a great value. We also offer catered parties at the beach grill for 25 people or more, including a clam and lobster bake or an old fashioned picnic, as well as children’s birthday parties.”

Calf Pasture Beach is located in East Norwalk.  To get to the beach from I-95, take Exit 16, and turn right at end of ramp onto East Avenue.  Proceed on East Avenue and enter traffic circle.  Take first road out of circle and follow the blue beach area signs. Customers who do not have a Norwalk beach pass can have their beach entrance fee refunded by obtaining a voucher with the purchase of any meal at Stew’s Grill.
