SLAAAACKKK season Spring Hours!

It is that time of year in McCall where our big winter events are over, our friends in the Valley are exchanging their skis for golf clubs and soccer balls, and things slow down just a little bit.

Rupert's has had a great first year of it! Actually just 9 months at this writing. And we thank all of you, customers, critics, and staff alike for your help with our ongoing endeavor. Now that we have had a couple of menu changes, 3 seasons, two reviews, and a few staff adjustments behind us, we know that despite having a delicious breakfast menu & a beautiful view, McCall doesn't have the traffic to warrant a full blown breakfast for Rupert's at this time. We also know that a lot of you will be heading south to miss the mud season and to work on your early season golf swing. With those thoughts in mind, we have new spring hours of operation:

• Open Monday, Thursday and Friday for lunch & dinner 11am to 9pm (dinner service starts at 5pm)
• Open Saturday and Sunday for brunch & dinner 10am - 9pm (dinner service at 5pm)

We will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during slack. And, Rupert's will be closed for breakfast starting Monday, March 17th. Don't despair! Chef Christopher's famous breakfast potatoes are still available on the weekends from 10 am until 3pm. For those of you hoping to stay in the hotel and are wondering what has become of our breakfast option for hotel guests: we will be offering a continental buffet in Rupert's in the mornings between 7am and 9:30. Juice, coffee, granola, cereal, and of course, Georgina's fabulous baked treats.

Thanks for coming in and reading our Blog. Don't hesitate to send us an email at Ruperts@hotelmccall.com. Let us know what your favorite menu item is, favorite port or what you think of Jack Russell terriers.
