Mrs. Brown's Relishes Some Changes

is getting a makeover. The restaurant, which opened late last year, has gotten a new chef and a new name-Relish.

“Relish is a pleasurable experience of food, family and life,” says new chef and co-owner, Steve Cardello.

Cardello, formerly of is executive chef and runs the day-to-day operations of the restaurant.

Menu changes are the first stage of the transformation with Cardello doing much of his shopping at the Kings Park Farmers Market for menu inspiration and fresh foods. Patrons can expect to see menu specials based on in season choices at the market and a farm-to-table approach.

We are using products from the farmers market like lettuce and tomatoes, local caught tuna and swordfish. Shopping there is well worth it,” he said.

Cardello says while he wants the restaurant to be known for a solid breakfast he wants customers to consider them a place for dinner, not just an afterthought.

“Food will be identifiable and classic. We are trying to carve out our own identity,”

Permits have been approved for a new sign. Other changes include new plantings, custom awnings and a fresh coat of paint for the outside of the building.

A grand re-opening is planned for September. The restaurant is open Sunday-Tuesday for breakfast and lunch and is serving dinner Wednesday–Saturday until 9 p.m.
