The snake is the sixth sign of the Chinese Zodiac calendar, which consists of 12 animal signs. It is the intuitive, introspective, refined and most collected of all the animal signs. In Eastern philosophy, those born in the Year of the Snake are attractive people who handle a crisis with ease and do not become flustered easily. Other character traits include wisdom, intelligence, and motivation.
The specials will be available in addition to its $35 bottomless brunch menu, during the last three weekends in February: February 9-10, 16-17, and 23-24, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
