Monday Night Bistro

        Monday nights are special at JiRaffe with our less formal, heavily creative, market-driven Monday Night Bistro menu. Chef Raphael Lunetta scours the Farmer's Market and creates a menu that showcases the best and freshest seasonal fare. Each week the menu is different, but always offers a delicious three-course menu priced at $38 and wines at special reduced prices. Mondays are a true bargain at JiRaffe.
