Jacques Gastreaux Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) I'd be intersted in having lunch with some Rockweillers during RW at Rasika. Who's interested and which day (during the week, preferably Wed., or Thurs.)? PM me if you are interested.

I tried to nudge her in the direction of Vidalia -- or even Georgia Brown's -- but to no avail. Our one experience at B.

The Doctor Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Anyone have any Mendocino Grille reports from restaurant week? Maybe about 3 or 4 RWs ago people were touting it as a good choice, and I always wanted to try it but I kept bumping it in favor of other places. Should I try it this time around, or would its sibling Sonoma perhaps be the better choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that Mendocino would offer a better value than Sonoma, since it is a little more expensive, and is more oriented to the appetizer, entree dessert style of dining that RW is designed around.

bookluvingbabe Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Anyone know if Corduroy is extending an extra week? I screwed up royally and my plane lands at 8:38 pm on Saturday night--not enough time to get to Corduroy for a 9 pm reservation. Next available time is 10:30 pm and I'm not eating that late. I'll post before I cancel on Opentable to give a DRer first shop at grabbing it... Sigh... Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe about 3 or 4 RWs ago people were touting it as a good choice, and I always wanted to try it but I kept bumping it in favor of other places.Should I try it this time around, or would its sibling Sonoma perhaps be the better choice? Thanks for asking about our plans. Mendocino is a Restaurant Week participant, but unlike many establishments, we offer our complete menu with 'supplemental' charges on some higher-cost items. You can stay within the restaurant week price parameters if you're budget conscious, but if you want to spend a few extra dollars, you can 'upgrade' your selection at little cost. Here is the link to the mostly current menu: http://www.mendocinodc.com/dinner.pdf Please keep in mind that Mendocino is open for dinner only. A quick thanks to Exec Chef Drew Trautmann and GM Troy Bock, as this will be our first RW as a Washingtonian "100 Very Best" restaurant since our acquisition 2 years ago. Sonoma is NOT participating simply because our typical check average is BELOW restaurant week pricing. We tried to make it work over the summer, but for the most part, a combination of 3 items at our regular prices, was the same as the RW week promotion. As consolation, I'll offer a complimentary glass of wine at Sonoma during RW to any registered DR members - just shoot me an email offline and I'll send you an email to present to the manager.

Just curious the details on the wine pairing: for an additional $10, each course will be served with a "pairing portion" glass of wine (a touch larger than a 1/2 glass, not quite a full glass). dessert will be served with a tasting portion of graham's 6grape port, or our signature dessert cocktail - scintilare limon (a blend of housemade limoncello, and prosecco).

The Doctor Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Yes, many thanks to Elias, Danny, and Dean for your thorough responses. I don't know if I speak for others, but when choosing new places to try during RW, the ones I pick are the ones that don't hold back on the menu. Out of all the upscale restaurants I frequent in the city, the majority were ones I first visited through this promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm chen Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I have now found Restaurant Week to be less about getting out to new restaurants I haven't tried and more about getting *my friends* out to new restaurants *they* haven't tried. I've had really fantastic and really terrible meals at RW places. So I use it as a scheduling crowbar more than a sampling opportunity. And I heartily agree about the bargain-priced wine pairing, it is a very nice addition to the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
