DanielK Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm assuming you mean 16th, 23rd, and 30th, as the dates you mention are Saturdays. I'd love to go, but am only open on the 23rd. Don, do you want to set this up as a poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've created a poll up above. Please select all Sundays that will work for you. Our goal is to close the restaurant so we can bring our own wine (it becomes a private room). Amoo's will not be charging any corkage fee; only for the food. I've encouraged Seb to make a fair profit on the food because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Delicious Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I really hope I can make this! How many seats are available? It may be a game-time decision for me, so I hope numbers will be tracked closely on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Will you be suggesting any wines to bring along, Don? Light reds would be wonderful! Dry whites, too. Pale Rosés. I'm sure a couple bottles from my cellar will make it into Amoo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraB Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Don, when I went to view the poll results, I got the message "you have already voted" -but I hadn't. ? The same thing just happened to me. I viewed the poll results prior to voting and now I can't vote because I'm being told I've already voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think it's because I put the poll in *after* this thread was started which is a weird way to do things. Would anyone mind if I started anew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 From Invision: --- Hello.One person has enough detail in their description to diagnose this. They said:"The same thing just happened to me. I viewed the poll results prior to voting and now I can't vote because I'm being told I've already voted"And... that's correct.If they view the results, as the text in the poll box says, they have cast a "Null" vote. So... they already voted. See this screenshot: People must cast their vote, not view the results. Results are shown to them after they vote. --- So Elizabeth, Laura, just send me a PM and I'll get your votes in for you. Everyone else, please pay heed to this! It's not a good design (and, quite frankly, that message is virtually meaningless and even misleading), but that's the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 We'd love to come. Soup +1. The place is great! Any one of the date works. Since I have to work next day, earlier the better from a start time perspective. If it starts too late, I might not be able to make it.

LauraB Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well, perhaps they need to change the language on that 'warning.' I saw the 'null vote', but assumed it meant that by clicking on 'View Results' I was not voting. I didn't realize that I was giving up my chance to vote at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Apparently, voting is still open and you need to check the count. Yes, we'll leave the poll open for a couple days into next week, and for now, it looks like we're leaning towards March 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Soup +1. I think I read that it is 6 to 9pm. We may have to leave a little earlier (e.g., 8). Any info on the cost per person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It looks like, based on Seb's facebook post, you don't have to come at 6, but can arrange for a seating any time that evening. I don't know what others are doing, but I did specifically request a 6p table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Delicious Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Arg! I won't be able to make it. I live so close, however, that I thought I might at least pop in during the meal to introduce myself and meet everyone... assuming a brief visit is OK. So, you all have that to look forward to. ETA: Oh, I just noticed the post about multiple seatings, so maybe popping in doesn't make sense/isn't helpful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iolaire Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I RSVP's on facebook but didn't see how to put two people... Susan and I will attend. thanks Now I requested two @ 7 on Facebook - but we are happy to join a DR table if such a think is created (at any time).

DonRocks Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I heard from Seb - it's the Persian New Year, and he's swamped. He said to show up at 6 PM, and he'd chime in with details later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Seb Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Oright folks, Im so sorry that it took me so long to post this. With going through the Persian New Year celebrations held at Amoo's, I had very little time to sit down and type the menu and pricing for this evening.So the pre fixe dinner menu will cost at $40 per person which includes a 5 course dinner with multiple options to choose from.I thought since this event is designed for the members of dr.com and some of Amoo's loyal guests, it'd be interesting to combine some of Mr. Rockwell's favorites dishes with my own personal favorite items that I enjoy cooking on daily bases. Here are your dinner course options for this event... Starter bites: Orange OlivesOrange marinated fine Olives Soup: Saffron Squash SoupSaffron steamed acorn squash soup topped off with goat cheese crumbles Or Soupe JoTomato garlic steamed barley and shredded chicken breast mixed with cilantro and rice noodles Appetizers: Hot Beet (Seb's Favorite)Fire roasted beet served on a bed of basil pistachio pesto and creamy goat cheese Or Kashke Bademjan (Don's Favorite)Sauteed eggplants and topped off with caramelized onions and fresh mint puree, drizzled with fermented yogurt Entrees: Sea Bass Kabob (Seb's Favorite)Jalapeno basil lime marinated wild caught Chilean sea bass, served with a side of Amoo's Saffron rice Or Lambshank with Baghali rice (Don's Favorite)Tomato and garlic braised whole lambshank served with a side of lima beans rice tossed in dill and truffle oil Or Lamb Chops Kabob (Seb's Favorite)Saffron barberry marinated New Zealand lamb chops, served with a side of Amoo's saffron rice Or Koofteh (Don's Favorite)Spiced ground beef meatball, braised in a tangy cilantro and tomato sauce, served with a side of Amoo's Saffron rice Desserts: BastaniSaffron pistachio and rose water infused ice cream Or Anar PuffsPomegranate goat cheese stuffed cream puffs Everyone may arrive at 6 since its a private dinner event. The only reason why i asked everyone to RSVP was to have a count of exactly how many people will be attending. In order to make adjustments and to ensure correct inventory, the kitchen needs to know what kind of volumes we will be dealing with. RSVPing to the event will ensure quality of service and food.Once again, thank you for joining. Looking forward to meeting all of you in Person. Happy Norooz (Persian New Year) P.S please remeber this is a private fun dinner party... So lets not be so serious....:-) Please come as you wish and bring your funn vibes with you!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
