Enter the Kambolis group. Harry Kambolis, owner of Raincity Grill, C Restaurant and nu restaurant + lounge, has set aside parts of each dining room so locals can enjoy gold medal gastronomy throughout the month of February. What’s more is that his culinary teams have created menus to match. Please find attached the Games inspired food (and cocktail) menus for each of the restaurants.
Raincity Grill, C and nu will be open for regular hours throughout the games and will also be serving their respective a la carte menus. As an added incentive simply remember that all three restaurants are in areas with no traffic restrictions and both C and nu have free parking.
