Pepperhead Restaurant in downtown Cortez will be closed April 1-9.
Its spring break and a lot of our staff have kids and families, Tess Montaño said. They get to have that time off to spend with their families before summer.
Montaño said it also gives them a chance to get the business ready for the upcoming busy tourist season.
We are going to be stripping the floors and doing some painting, she said. It will be bright and fresh in here for the summer. It should be good.
The restaurateur also said it will get them set for the upcoming Montezumas Table benefit, a progressive dining event that will be a gourmet tour of Northern African, Spanish and Turkish cuisine in mid April.
Well open just in time for that, Montano said.
The evening includes dancing, live cooking stations and performances by a Spanish guitarist, all accompanied by five courses of unique foods from Pepperhead and neighboring restaurants Stonefish and Farm Bistro.
