Hey [Prospect],
Welcome to town. My family and I enjoyed a nice dinner at your new Sudbury location last month. I really enjoyed the scallops and risotto. I'll be back.
I drove by your restaurant last night fairly late (I play indoor soccer at night ... I noticed that you were open, which is nice — I'll be bringing the guys by for a beer after next week's practice. But, I thought you were closed at first glance. I saw a few people sitting at the bar, but the light in front of the restaurant was really dim.
This isn't my area of expertise, but I know a good sign guy. Would you like an intro?
Regards,
[Your name]
