What a lovely lounge!

Who would not love to sit here and sip on a glass of wine while enjoying a taste of some exquisite food?  Soon it will be a reality.  I know lots of people are excited and I can’t wait to post the opening date.  It’s coming soon.  Promise:)

Why Tek-Nique?

Many people have asked why we chose the name Tek-Nique, so here it is.  The variety of definitions of technique are as follows; the way in which a skilled process is carried out,  a method of accomplishing a desired aim,  the way in which fundamentals are handled,  and a procedure used to accomplish a specific task.  All of that may not seem like much but when you combine it with all the synonyms; skill, art, performance, craft, touch, knowhow, facility, delivery, execution, knack, artistry, craftsmanship and proficiency.  I think it very well describes  Matt and how the food will be prepared.  I honestly can’t look at any of the synonyms and not relate it to his culinary genius.    I hope that once we open you will check us out and see that it was the PERFECT name.
