DanielK Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Please come join us for dinner at Drift on 7th and celebrate the (re)opening of Ferhat's seafood joint in Shaw!We will meet at 6p for drinks, with dinner starting at 6:30p. Ferhat and I spoke, and he said it would be easier for the kitchen if everyone just ordered off the menu, rather than trying to do a set meal with simultaneous service.Seating is in 4-tops, so if you're not RSVPing with 4, you'll sit at a table with others. Make a new friend!RSVP here in the topic or via PM. I can't imagine we'll need a waiting list (max seating is 32), but if so, first come first served.DanielK +1JSnake +2Bart +1eatruneatMichaelBDCktmoomauGadarene +1mr food +1Simul Parikh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSnake Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Is it possible to push a few 4-tops together so we can all sit at one table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Is it possible to push a few 4-tops together so we can all sit at one table? I'll leave that question to Ferhat. There used to be a lot of booth seating, but I haven't seen if there was any physical redesign in the Fishnet --> Drift transformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferhat Yalcin Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 JSnake & Daniel, We actually changed the seating layout and have only tables(no more booths) and bar seats. There is not a lot of room to push the tables together maybe only 2 of them can be combined. In addition, it would be really hard for me to serve a table of 8. I prefer that you all have a good experience and not suffer with delayed food. However, your enjoyment comes first. If you really like to sit together and don't mind the timing(some will be served some will be delayed at the same table) I`d be happy to do the table arrangement to your liking. Let me know please. thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr food Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 ok, in and the Head Chef will accompany me thought she may be a bit late but given that it's a la carte, I don't think that will be a problem. I may see if another foodie couple wants to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they can't make it but I believe she joined, he doesn't do social media. As Ferhat is graciously waiving corkage, I'm eyeing a magnum of Sancerre and possibly a new world pinot.

He's giving us a gift; let's give him one in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 If it isn't gauche to show up to these deals with kids, I'll be there +3. Â No worries if you'd rather keep it adults only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Absolutely bring them! Any of the regulars on this board will tell you that I've brought my kids (now 16 and 18) to dinners since the early days of board events. Indoctrinate early! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Folks, We are undergoing serious technical issues today, and I cannot promise the website will be up all day. Be prepared for some other means of communication - nothing we can do about it. Have a backup ready ASAP. There are no no-shows allowed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? (Sorry to get off-topic.) PS - Website will be fine today, but look for an interruption of service sometime this week for a few hours. I'll keep people posted on my twitter account (@dcdining) which rolls over onto the dcdining.com page on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
