Thank You for the Love & Support

It’s been such an amazing week! We’ve received so much love and support from you—both online and at the restaurant—and our hearts are glowing🌟.

This week, we hosted a special cocktail party for one of our most loyal guests who’s truly become part of the Shabo’s Bistro family. Chef Shabo prepared something beautiful just for Vicki—take a look at what he created!

We were also thrilled to see Chef’s recent cooking class mentioned by Mr. Tim Aten, one of Southwest Florida’s top journalists and senior editor of a leading magazine. But what truly touched us were your comments—thank you for sharing the love!

CHECK THE POST

And another big thank you to Mr. Franchesco, who shared a heartfelt review about his experience with us on Nextdoor. The amount of kind responses and community support that followed was overwhelming in the best way.
