“My Fall Menu will roll out on September 17 - I can't wait for you to sample the new dishes I have created for this wonderful time of year. Everyone's already talking about my new Escargot Pizza, and the Corn Profiterolle Maine Lobster dish is an exciting overture that started out as a dessert recipe and ended up as a savory! Also, we are working on a new Duck Breast Sliders plate that should be ready by Christmas.
My biggest surprise will be the introduction of special menus two days each month that will replace the regular menu on those days. I invite you to follow me on Facebook - or you can sign up elsewhere on this web site to receive email updates - to see when each month I will be preparing these amazing menus.
It is an exciting time here at Bistro LQ, and I am thrilled that you are planning to share these great times with us! I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your support and enthusiasm.

The walls are brocaded with genuine artwork stretching from the floor to the ceiling. Everything from the marble tabletops to the crystal chandeliers to the dominating bust of Michelangelo’s David standing sentry over the open kitchen inspires visions of authentic Italy, and the resulting ambiance is truly special.
Gale’s is all about great food, and what sends the eclectic collection of northern Italian offerings sailing into the culinary stratosphere actually seems simple to the owner.
“The one area where we are totally committed and where we never compromise is using really great ingredients that are as fresh as possible,” says Gale. “We buy some of our produce from the farmers’ market and try to pick up organic produce whenever it’s appropriate. We also are always looking for purveyors that carry great quality and unusual product.”
