New Management Reopens 'ZEBO at Elk Cove Inn & Spa for 2005 Season
MENDOCINO, CA - May 20, 2005 - When Mendocino Countys' Measure H,
banning the use of Genetically Modified Organisms passed in March
2004, it gained international attention. But no one foresaw the
opportunity it would create for an exciting new business. That month,
the Elk Cove Inn & Spa opened its organic restaurant, 'ZEBO, earning
quick acclaim from "American Spa Magazine", the "Santa Rosa Press Democrat"
Food & Wine writer and KRCB Radio's Sunday morning "Mouthful" host,
Michelle Anna Jordan. Nationally recognized Restaurateur and Chef, Ira
Mittelman takes the reins for the 2005 season.
Chef Ira brings a zest for southern and exotic world flavors to
unique, new American cuisine. He's acquired locally baked artisan
breads to complement generous salads of fresh greens that still speak
of their morning in the garden. And he's perfected the house made pasta
and desserts that add to the menu's essence of freshness and care. The
seafood is only the freshest available and the fowl and beef are free-
range and hormone-free.
Mittelman believes that with his skills, "The natural beauty,
intimate, ocean view dining room, fresh, organic ingredients and local
wines meld to form a perfect blend of relaxation and enjoyment." And
he should know. Chef Ira developed two successful restaurants in
highly competitive Portland, Oregon. He was first to bring new
American cuisine to the Rocky Mountains, hosting celebrities at an
exclusive Montana resort, and he has performed as Executive Chef,
responsible for feeding up to 600 guests a day at "crazier places".
'Here, in this healing environment," he says, "My dreams of creating
the quintessential dining experience can come to fruition."
Elk Cove Inn & Spa Owner David Lieberman adds, "Everything we do is
focused on rest and rejuvenation." A former Silicon Valley "Type A"
himself, Lieberman understands the stress and strain of busy lives.
Still the entrepreneur, he's built a destination resort on the
secluded North Coast that caters to those in need of a brief escape.
"From the moment guests arrive we pamper them with peace and quiet,
privacy, comfort, nurturing, healing body therapy and meals that
satisfy all the senses. In the process, we've discovered they find it
a complete joy to get away from television, phones and Internet
access."
ZEBO graciously serves inn guests, local residents and visitors
Thursday thru Sunday evenings from 5:30 to 9:30 PM, February thru
November, and after Christmas, for the New Year Holiday week. Entrees
range to . Regional boutique wines highlight the menu and many are
available by the glass.
About the Elk Cove Inn & Spa
