Marlow’s Tavern Offers “Bayou ‘n Bourbon” Menu for a Limited Time

ORLANDO, Fla. (February 26, 2013) – Orlando’s new favorite neighborhood restaurant, Marlow’s Tavern, is bringing NOLA to Central Florida with its “Bayou ‘n Bourbon” menu full of cuisine from the Deep South. Now through March 25, Marlow’s Tavern at Pointe Orlando is featuring a special menu full of jazzed up dishes and classic cocktails that will take diners taste buds on a trip to the Big Easy.

“The flavors of New Orleans are distinct and irresistible, much like the chef-driven food and hand-crafted cocktails found on our everyday menu,” says John C. Metz, executive chef and co-founder of Marlow’s Tavern. “We want our guests to experience Louisiana cooking with a Marlow’s twist,” he adds.

The “Bayou ‘n Bourbon” menu includes dishes which are offered daily for lunch and dinner:

Roast chicken and shrimp gumbo – a Louisiana tradition with a Marlow’s twist (6.5)

Fiery crawfish fondue – a rich, creamy blend of crawfish, Gruyere cheese, fresh herbs and spices served with ciabatta crostini (9)
