Wine Thief, the wine-centric neighborhood bistro in Mt Airy, has just introduced their new fall menu. The menu isn’t just new, it has been greatly expanded! The updated menu includes 3 additional appetizers, an additional salad, 2 additional side dishes, an additional sandwich and 6 additional entrees!

The vegetarian friendly menu has been updated to include 3 additional vegetarian dishes such as Homemade Poppers, Vegetable Curry with sauteed vegetables and jasmine rice, and a Homemade Vegetable Burger. Other stand-out additions are a Sauteed Calamari appetizer, Grilled Lamb Loin with red pepper rouille, tomato garlic risotto & sauteed spinach, Pork Tenderloin with brussel sprouts, roasted red bliss potatoes and sage demi-glace, and Pan Seared Tuna with grilled scallions & sweet chili rice noodles.

Not to worry if you are dying to try the Thief Roll or Grilled Hanger Steak that Craig Laban highlighted in his review. Both menu items are still available, as well as, the “outstanding” fried chicken!
