JoshW0615 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So I just found out a couple of days ago that I scheduled a trip to Florida the same weekend as my best friend's 25th birthday. I'm trying to make it up to him (as well as get rid of some of the guilt) by taking him to a surprise dinner somewhere this Saturday. I'm looking for something fun and personal, instead of the typical 4 course w/ wine pairings. My initial thought was the 7 course cocktail pairing dinner at Ps7, but found out Gina is out of town this weekend. We did the Columbia Room last year, so I'd also like to avoid that. Of course, it's also last minute for a Saturday night, which makes things even more difficult. Any ideas out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mame11 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 How about the bar at CityZen? It's supposed to be great, and at $50 for three courses a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The tasting menu at Eola, the two of you will get plenty of different pig parts that you might not normally order. They also have surprisingly good cocktails (surprising because they do not have an actual bar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I think that DanielK and some other people have had very good luck getting Antonio Burrell to do something a bit special on request and a little notice, and I think there may be some info on here about requesting that type of thing, but I can't remember. Might be worth a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yes, Antonio has publicly stated that he's willing to do special menus with some notice. Just contact the restaurant. But I think that's frequently true for chef-driven restaurants that don't already have tasting menus. Many are happy to prepare a special meal "off-menu", to give themselves a chance to "play". If there's a place you already like, can't hurt to call and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I bet New Heights would be very easy to work with too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
