Robert Mosci Sings in the New Year at Thistle Lodge, Sanibel Island

With his flair for the pop standards, New York singer and musician, Robert Mosci, will be returning to Sanibel Island on December 31, 2009 at Casa Ybel’s Thistle Lodge Beachfront Restaurant for a special New Year’s Eve that promises to welcome in 2010 in style.

Robert Mosci

Mosci, who performs piano and vocals at New York City’s famed Water Club has wowed audiences since he was a teen, mastering a full range of musical instruments and then adding vocals to complete the package. 

His smooth and mellow voice will be delighting guests as they partake in the elegant New Year’s Eve celebration. Thistle Lodge’s own Chef John Wolff is preparing an array of mouth-watering menu items with a choice of soup or salad (see menu below). Among his offerings will be an herb-crusted rack of lamb, lump crabmeat stuffed sole, grilled filet mignon and lobster tail and what some say is Chef John’s piece de resistance, pan seared sea bass.
