Date and time flexible. * After proper consultation, of course I could consider joining up with you on Friday. Hmmm Bistro Bis during August recess -- probably won't be too cluttered up with high powered politicos so if there are enough of us interested in dinner we might even get a table. Is Nadya gonna be working then? Edited August 3, 2005 by FunnyJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferhat Yalcin Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Before you go, you should call either now or later this evening to see what their menu offernings are. make sure you call Nadya around 6.30 pm and ask if they have any kind of sauce for their chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm Bistro Bis during August recess -- probably won't be too cluttered up with high powered politicos so if there are enough of us interested in dinner we might even get a table. Is Nadya gonna be working then? Nadya will be working tonight and tomorrow night. On Friday night, she will be enjoying her very own RW dinner - the only exception made after careful deliberation to overrule blanket boycotting of other RW venues. So....Ferhat baby, whatchy'all cookin' for Restaurant Week?? Yeah, you guessed right. That's where No need to answer, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogun Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Anybody know anything about happy hour at Smith and Wollensky? It sounds like I'm heading over there tomorrow with some people from the library. Seemed like an odd choice, but apparently they do a good job, however I can't find any details...

Barbara Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I have had lovely business lunches there. Some tables are quieter than others but I would recommend it over any other place in the area for this particular purpose.Also, yay! Just confirmed with crackers that I will be attending my first-ever DR.com event on Saturday at Corduroy, so I'll be able to put those menu suggestions from a couple of pages ago into practice myself! I will be very happy to meet you. Craig and I will be there with bells on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mame11 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'd like to thank Chef Clark for responding to a query I submitted to her through this forum. She was very generous with information about one of my favorite dishes. I think it's great that this forum opens up the dialogue between local chefs, managers, staff members, etc., and the public. I love her restaurant and I look forward to my next visit! That is so cool. My next visit will be this weekend before they close for the much needed/deserved vacation!
