Marchand’s Goes Old School With New Menu [The Classics Never Go Out Of Style]

Posted Oct 14, 2009 by Jeff Houck

Mark Heimann, executive chef at The Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club in St. Petersburg, has created a three-course “Classic Dining & Cocktails” menu for Marchand’s Bar & Grill that celebrates the year the original Vinoy Park Hotel opened in 1925.

You might remember that Heimann came up with the clever Seinfeld-themed dinner at Marchand’s in February in honor of Jerry Seinfeld’s performance at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg.

The latest themed meal, offered for $19.25 per person (plus tax and gratuity) and paired with Gallo Family Vineyards wines, features such classics as:

Beef short rib Bourguignon and a wedge salad.

Roast chicken breast, wild mushroom & vegetable Fricassee with scalloped potatoes

Raspberry Napoleon

My favorite: Grilled Atlantic Salmon with creamed leeks, beurre rouge sauce and frittes.
