Attention Everyone: Group Photo This Saturday
Exciting news—Tasty Bites Magazine will be featuring our Dublin’s best dining establishments! They have arranged for one of their photographers to photograph us on Saturday, 4 June, at 10:00 A.M., before preparation for the day begin.
All employees will be included, so please plan to come in a bit sooner than scheduled on Saturday morning wearing your uniform. The session will take 30 minutes.
We have achieved so much since we opened, and you should all be very proud of this recognition.

Subject: Saturday Photography Appointment
Dear Mr. Keel, I am writing to confirm your group photography session at 10:00 A.M. on Saturday. As discussed, this photo shoot will take place at your restaurant, and I will photograph your staff along the wall in the main dining hall. You mentioned that your waitstaff will need to start getting ready for the day at 10:30 A.M., and that should not be a problem. The shoot should be finished by 10:30 A.M.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, I will see you on Saturday!

Bistro Pleases
Enter Bentonside Bistro any day for lunch or dinner, and you’ll hear the sounds of clinking forks and chattering patrons. “That’s the sound of happy diners,” says Herman Keel, the restaurant’s owner.
Opened two years ago, the bistro has exceeded expectations. The menu features traditional Irish dishes prepared by chef Deirdre Hanrahan. She notes, “We choose ingredients that are at the height of summer, fall, winter, and spring, and showcase these on our menu.”
On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Jacinta Coelho, a visitor from Brazil, was dining at the bistro. “I can’t get over the freshness and homemade taste!” exclaimed Ms. Coelho. “It’s like the chef went outside and selected the ingredients just for me.”
Bentonside Bistro is located at 1644 Bentonside Road and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The interior is painted in bright shades of blue reminiscent of the ocean, with a rotating gallery of artwork adorning the walls. The staff is friendly and the delicious food is reasonably priced. Reservations are not required.
