Menu to be posted.... Neruda is Open and Serving Great Food Monday through Saturday: Of course, that shouldn't surprise anyone, but I've been hearing rumors that we closed. We are very much alive and well and enjoying our work. As many of you know, I have seven employees who have worked at Neruda for over ten years, and next year I will have another two ten year employees on the payroll. As Mark Twain had occasion to state, "The report of my death was an exaggeration." (New York Journal, 1897)

Neruda to Close for Lunch, Open Monday Evenings: On Monday, October 1, 2007, Neruda inaugurated a major schedule change when we closed our luncheon business and opened the restaurant for full-service dining on Monday evenings. I offer a word of "Thanks" to our regular lunch customers who have graced our door over the years. I know that many of you will be sorry to see Neruda end our lunch business, but I hope that you will come back from time to time and enjoy us for a leisurely dinner night. Wine Dinner on Thursday, November 1, 2007: David Coy of The Aussie Premium Wine Collection brought his knowledge and spirit to our first announced wine dinner of the fall season. As you can guess from the name, all the wines hailed from Australia, and as you may suspect, we had a great time. To view the menus and the wine selections, click here. Neruda Ten Years Old: On Saturday, August 11, 2007, Neruda celebrated a major milestone when we turned the page on ten years of fine dining in Edwardsville. Neruda has been successful because of the commitment of our customers in Edwardsville, the Metro East , and from across the river in St. Louis. My hat is off to the many who have made Neruda their second home.
