Greetings Neighbors and Friends,
We have been blessed over the years at Criolla's and I love reading everyone's feedback on Sowal.com, both the negative and the positive.
Smiling Joe is right about our new Chef de Cuisine Shane Vaughn, what a gentleman and superb chef and we are delighted to have him leading our kitchen. We have always been fortunate to have great folks working with us. From the beginning Criolla's has been an interactive kitchen in so far as not only does our Chef de Cuisine influence our menu but I ask for our entire culinary team to create - line cooks, sous chefs, interns - it's an incredible way to work.
If you haven't been in this year come check out our tapas bar we opened in February. We get a chance to bring the kitchen out front plus you can stop in and enjoy Criolla's without always feeling the need to go through multiple courses. It's been exciting for all us cooks.
For our fellow Sowall'ers, I would like to invite y'all to come check out what's new and recieve a complimentary tapas and dessert anytime between now and July 21st. Just let our friendly GM Tim Kinderman know and he will take good care of you. BTW, for all the Sowal soda drinkers out there, I apologze for having charged you repeatedly. From this point forward your sodas are complimentary, just let us know when you are there and we'll take good care of you. Unfortunately I can't offer the same for you oenophiles, but we do bring in some gems you can't get everywhere.
Have a great weekend and enjoy this fabulous weather - we all should all be at the beach today. Best wishes and thanks again for the past 24+ years.
Johnny
