Dear Friends and Guests,
Guess what is right around the corner? Winter! And you can tell by our candycane striped pillars and garland hung eaves! Last week Glacier Point Road reopened to visitors, so the days have been balmy enough to rid us of snow & ice on that road. Unfortunately not so at Tioga Pass, it just may be closed through the season.
Oysters on the Half Shell, Historic Hotels of the Mother Lode & the Recipes that Make Them Famous: By Janet Iren Atkinson
Now that is a mouth-full of a book title, but a worthy one considering the fabulous inns that are included in this book. We are honored to be listed amonst such wonders as the Ahwahnee & Chateau du Sureau. Jan interviewed us two years ago for her book which just came out last week. I was so thrilled with our writeup that I bought 2 dozen copies. While most hotels are described through the years with who famous visited and descriptions of stunning antiques and architecture, most of our editorial is a retelling of Jan's conversation with me and the Hotel Dog Bob. If you ever had the opportunity to enjoy Bob's performance on the piano, Jan does a brilliant job of bringing this "skit" to life. We have the books for $18.95 if you want to preserve the memory or check out the great recipes. We personally intend to visit all of these historic hotels in the coming years. www.HotelCharltotte.com/gifts.html

Restaurant Specials:
We are offering several fall-winter specials in the restaurant on Thursday and Sunday nights through the first week of January and some great holiday menus for the coming festive season. We hope you will join us for one or all of these! www.HotelCharlotte.com/restaurant.html
Thursday Nights: Gift Certificate Redemption Night Valid through 1/1/2009
Join us for dinner on Thursdays, use your gift certificates and we will apply 5% more to the value of your gift certificate. (No cash back when your giftcertificate is worth more than your dinner, bring extra people!)
Sunday Nights: Courses of Course! & Clear the Cellar Night Valid through 1/4/2009
We are offering a 3-course dinner of soup or house salad, a 5oz bacon wrapped filet mignon & homemade ice-cream, coffee or tea for $19.95. Add a bottle of wine from our select vintages from $15, (the price of a bottle of house wine and only while supplies last) We have a few great wines in small quantities to share so we can make room for new vintages. The list will change weekly.
Christmas Dinner: Since Christmas falls on a Thursday this year, we will be open for dinner, 5:30 to 8:30. Christmas Eve the restaurant is closed, leaving that night to our staff to enjoy their own families and hope to serve you and your families on Christmas night after all the festivities have wrapped up for the day. We will serve from our regular menu and regular prices with a couple of specials, perhaps something like lobster, king crab legs or venison rack.
New Year's Eve Menu: Consider joining us for the early seatings, starting from 5:30 pm on Wednesday, December 31st. Perfect for those who like the party, but not the late hour of Midnight. The menu choices are:
