WE have WATER... and we will OPEN Friday at 11 a.m.!!

We are thrilled to report that water has returned to Highland Village and we will open at 11 a.m. for lunch.   Staff members are high fiving in the kitchen, we all feel like we have been through the wringer.  But without any water!  ;-)  

Thank you for all your kind words of support... they have meant the world to us.

SEE YOU AT BRAVO!??

Water Crisis forces us to close...

We were the first to open after Katrina.

We opened the minute the power came on after the North Jackson Tornado.

We have stayed open through countless boil water alerts and power outages over the 16 years we have been blessed to serve our guests here in Jackson.

But this time, Mother Nature and that troublesome Yazoo clay wins. 

With an estimate of 80 water line breaks in the City of Jackson water system (full Clarion Ledger article here) we have zero water pressure at Broad Street, BRAVO! and Sal & Mookie's.   Yes, we are stocked up with bottled water and soft drinks, but we simply cannot service our guests without the abiltiy to wash up, use the restrooms, and the like.

We are hopeful that today's good weather will allow the hard working City of Jackson work crews to make headway and get water pressure back.  Once we have water pressure, we will reopen under a boil water situation where we will only use and serve sterilized water.

So, thank you for understanding... thank you for being patient.  If you have catering orders with us, we are contacting you by phone to make arrangements... we are keeping our commitments today and producing that which we can.  We would NEVER leave you high and dry. 

Well... dry maybe... just today.  (hee hee... couldn't resist!)

Keep the faith,

Jeff & Dan and the 176 members of the Mangia Bene family
