>>Things to do with Dad that may make him actually like you
THE BLUE NOTE BISTRO AND LOUNGE
25 E. Central Ave., Miamisburg
937-247-3000
June 18, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
This brunch menu screams Dad. Items like steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy and chicken and waffles highlight the plentiful offerings. The only way to make this more of a father menu is to serve it with a hot side of “you’re never going to amount to anything.” Desserts are available. Live music will be provided by Bruce Wilkes and reservations are suggested.
1061 Miamisburg Centerville Road, Centerville
937-610-1061
June 18-19, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
More refined taste buds may prefer the menu here, where you can treat Dad to cornflake-crusted chicken thigh with red-eye gravy, walnut-raisin French toast with buttered maple syrup and applewood smoked bacon or a salad of wilted spinach, applewood smoked bacon, golden Yukon nuggets, goat cheese topped with a red wine vinaigrette as the main course options. Much of the food is locally grown. This will be the last Father's Day menu for Bar Dumaine, so you may want to call for reservations.
