his April 3rd, Fenton River Grill officiallybegins their third year in business. That is animportant milestone for any business. Open-
ing a new business is not always easy, we have hadour share of difficulties, but we have entered 2020 asa stronger restaurant than when we started.Consistency in quality and service have beenimproved and we have created many happycustomers.
There is a saying in the restaurant industry;‘The restaurant you open is not the samerestaurant you have 5 years later.’ This has held truefor all our restaurants. We listen to the customer andmake changes based on their recommendations. Wealso have made changes in operations and staff to cre-ate a much better offer.
Fenton River Grill was created as a place for youto enjoy hand crafted, quality food in a warm, inviting
T
ctober 1st of 2019, the State of Connecticutimplemented a new 1% additional Sales Taxon restaurants. That means the consumer at
restaurants will be paying 7.35% sales tax. The Statehas also implemented a 10% Spirit Excise Tax thatwill be passed onto restaurants and package stores inwholesale costs. Not only that, but beginning at thesame time, the state Minimum Wage increases from$10.10 per hour to $11.00 per hour. It will increaseevery 9 months by $1.00 until it reaches $15.00 perhour on June 1st of 2023. In 4 years, this will increasethe minimum wage by 48%. This will in turn causemenu prices to increase a minimum of 25% in thattime frame, but most likely more than that as theincreases incurred by our suppliers are passed alongto us as well. Throughout this time, we will hold trueto our commitment to high quality, hand-preparedfoods at all our restaurants. We will implement priceincreases throughout this time to keep up with thisrapid rising cost of business, that is being brought toyou by the State of Connecticut.

“Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all
unkindness.” - William Shakespeare
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be
accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. You need
to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a
beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If
you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change
yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will
suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in
understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confi-
dence in yourself.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Saturday - 11 - Cliff EberhardtCliff Eberhardt knew by age seven that he wasgoing to be a singer and songwriter. Growing up in
Berwyn, Pennsylvania, he and his broth-ers sang together and their parentsplayed instruments. His dad introducedhim to the guitar and he quickly taughthimself to play. Fortunate enough to live
close to the Main Point (one of the best folk clubs onthe East Coast), he cut his teeth listening to the likesof James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen,Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt, and Mis-sissippi John Hurt — receiving an early and impres-sive tutorial in acoustic music. At the same time, hewas also listening to great pop songwriters like ColePorter, the Gershwins, and Rodgers and Hart, whichexplain his penchant for great melodies and cleverlyrical twists. “Eberhardt sings with passion and withwit…what makes his brand so rare is the self-assur-ance and poise he brings to his nearly flawless show.”- The New York Post

Singer/Songwriters in the Round
We turn our stage over to artists we have metthrough our long-running Open Mic nignts. LisaMartin ran the Hootenanny/Songwriter Sessions at
The Vanilla Bean Café forseveral years and will be ourOpen Mic featured performeron May 1. Lisa’s musicbridges the elements of folk,rock, country and blues withher pop sensibilities, heartfeltdelivery and quick wit. Gracie
Day was our September feature. Her EP, theNashville Sessions, is “a remarkably dense and rich-ly textured piece of work, one that showcases Day’ssmoky vocals and extraordinary phrasing.” –Worcester Telegram & Gazette. Steve Dedman,frontman for Americana band “Plywood Cowboy,"writes heart-born songs that interweave countryroots with singer-songwriter traditions. Steve will beour feature March 6. Bob Chabot was a Kerrvillefinalist and a member of the Fast Folk Songwritingcommunity. He will be our Open Mic feature onJune 5 of this year.
Sunday - 19 - Ellis PaulSome artists document their lives through theirmusic. Others chronicle their times. It’s a rare artist
who can do both, telling their own storythrough songs that also encapsulate theessence of people and places who havehelped define their era overall. WoodyGuthrie comes to mind, and so does
Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen certainly as well. Yetfew others, for whatever genius they may possess,can relate their own history to the history experi-enced by those who find that common bond, be it ina coming of age, living through the same realities orsharing similar experiences. Ellis Paul is one ofthose gifted singer/songwriters. Though some mayrefer to him as a folk singer, he is more, for lack of abetter word, a singular storyteller, a musician whosewords reach out from inside and yet also express thefeelings, thoughts and sensibilities that most peoplecan relate to in one way or another, regardless ofage or upbringing. He’s an observer, a philosopher,and an astute storyteller who shares with his listen-ers the life lessons he’s learned.

plays Abbey RoadCelebrating the 50th anniversary of The BeatlesAbbey Road, and honoring its influence across gen-
erations, Pamela Means performs theiconic album, in its entirety, in order,solo acoustic! Her introduction to theBeatles record remains “a vivid memo-ry from age 14,” and one of the reasons
she chose to delve into learning the whole albumwas that “the medley [aka most of side two] seemedso incredibly difficult to learn. It just sounded‘badass’ to do it. A multi-talented performer, singer,songwriter, composer and producer, PamelaMeans’s multiple honors include being named Fal-con Ridge Folk Festival’s “# 1 Most Wanted NewArtist,” “Wisconsin Folk Artist of the Year,” “Wis-consin Female Vocalist of the Year,” and her politi-cally provocative album, Single Bullet Theory, wasvoted “Outmusic Outstanding New Recording.”Pamela Means was twice voted “Best Acoustic Act”of the year in her hometown of Milwaukee, WI; andafter setting up shop in the bustling ‘burbs ofBoston, Mass., Pamela was nominated for an “Out-standing Contemporary Folk Artist” Boston MusicAward. Curve Magazine calls her “one of thefiercest guitar players and politically-rooted singer-songwriters in the music industry today.”

Our Pricing Practices*
1. Sales Tax Included - Our prices include the
6.35% Connecticut Sales Tax + the 1% Restaurant Tax.
The prices listed on the menu are exactly what you pay.
Our prices may seem to be inflated; however, a $14.00
menu item is actually $13.04 + $.96 sales tax. Further-
more, this practice makes it easier for the customer, espe-
cially if that customer is a child who has exact change for
a cookie. What you see is exactly what you pay - what
could be simpler?
2. Not Market Standard Pricing - We are not
trying to fool the customer into thinking that $11.95 is
less expensive than $12.00. We find this type of pricing
insulting to our customers. However, the reason it is
used so extensively around the nation is that it works
effectively. We don’t like that practice, and we also like
to believe that our clientele is not so easily fooled.
3. No Pennies, Dimes or Nickels - Because our
prices include tax and we do not price in the standard
way, we do not have to use pennies, dimes or nickels.
This is a service to both the customer and to us. We
don’t give you lots of change, and we only have to use
quarters and fifty-cent pieces. This also helps our staff to
be more efficient performing transactions, which saves
time and money. An added bonus is that we don’t have
to count change at the end of the business day.
