Thanks for the idea! We're really looking for the full in-kitchen experience, though...
-
The restaurant let us know today that because as of last week we only had about 14 people sign up, they put us in a smaller -- and more fabulous -- room than we had first anticipated -- sorry for any confusion!
-
I might just be missing it (I do that sometimes!), but although I see that the dinner will be less than $50, I don't see a total price anywhere -- can you let me/us know what the damage will be? Thanks!

We had some great food in NYC this last weekend. We had a lovely dinner at Blue Hill, marred only by our own train-induced crankiness. We also had a fabulous brunch at August, which my brother and his wife talked about for the next couple days! Finally, we had a lovely farewell meal at db Bistro Moderne, with this beautiful, complex piece of skate -- perfectly cooked (for me: crispy, salty sear, tender, moist, flaky meat) with an astonishing mix of flavors accompanying it. I would eat it again in a heartbeat (and the woman next to us, who ordered the same dish after seeing me eat mine, agreed ). We ended up both being stuck in the hotel more than we would have wished -- blah -- but it was as good a meeting as a meeting can be, and it meant our trip was 80% paid for, which, really, who can complain?!

Yes, definitely keep Vetri on the list for a fabulous, fine-dining experience! For something more low-key (big space, families, pizza [not exclusively!]), you can also try Mark Vetri's other restaurant, Osteria -- excellent food! -
We're hosting my sister-in-law and nephew at the end of August (I know -- so soon!) -- I was thinking maybe it would be cool to take him to a chef's table, where he could really get into the experience of watching the team cook. Are there any really awesome chef's tables out there -- good, unintimidating food with a great view of the kitchen experience? Thanks in advance!

I think most people -- including me -- have shied away because we have yet to have anything close to a good experience here and -- until Don's post -- didn't know anyone else who had had one, either...this makes me think warily about maybe giving them a third try, but really, we're not eating out enough these days to "waste" an evening on what we've had at Agraria previously.Still, maybe the third time will be the charm (particularly if there is a new chef at the helm...).
-
Yup -- I had updated the original post. The cost for nondrinkers is $90/pp.
-
But the thing I love about Twittervision is that you can see that people around the world are totally the same -- nobody likes being at work, lots of people take lots of breaks (coffee, cigarette, Twitter) throughout the day, and -- at least the day that I was watching it -- everybody loves BBQ

Howdy Rockweilers! We still need a couple more people to make this work, so come on, sign up! You won't find a better deal than this -- nibbles, 5 courses, wine, tax, tip, private room, and, of course, the fabulous Rockwell community as your dining companions!

Chef RJ says that the veggie menu will be available the week before the event -- sounds like you all are getting menus a la minute, based on what's fabulous in the market that week!

My mom and dad are celebrating their 40th (!) wedding anniversary in Paris this fall (basically, the month of September -- gotta love it!) and have asked for our help in selecting the restaurant for THE dinner. The four that she's thinking of are Jacques Cagna Violon d'Ingres Georges (top of Pompidou) Le Jules Verne She expressed it better than I could when she said: "We would like to go some place nice, like Restaurant Eve, some place with good food, nice ambiance, and frequented by French people, as well as the ubiquitous tourist." So...any thoughts?
-
I ate at Tabla last year and enjoyed it -- a fun atmosphere (and the bottle of champagne we were drinking didn't hurt ).
-
I vote for September 14
