    Per Se

    Forgive me if I missed this in the previous pages (I did a quick search), but if Per Se the Restaurant does not make any money, then what is in it for the owner and partners? How and from where are they making it worth their while?

    Per Se

    Absolutely not. I guarantee. Guarantee? How about I try it out, and if I do get a seating for 2 at 7:00 or 8:00 with my method, I'll take you, and you can pay.

    Per Se

    It's completely different because there are no jacked prices at Per Se. Everybody at Per Se gets the season-ticketholders' price even though the product would be worth more on the open market. There are no inflated scalper/broker rates based on supply and demand. At the World Series, the people with the most money get the tickets. At Per Se, the tables go to those who call first, and everybody pays the same. Let me correct my statement. I should have said that it's no different than paying higher prices for a World Series game than a regular ballgame, because the level of talent and the spectacle of that particular game. It's not a May ballgame, it's a World Series game. It's not a table at a 3 star, it's a table at a 4 star, and a very valuable table at that. Also, everybody has a chance to get World Series tickets. You have to just wait on line at the right time and wait your turn, similar to calling Per Se at 10:00am or whatever time they start. Yes, there are brokers who take a certain number of tickets, but it is definetly not the majority of the seats. Also, just like any high level restaurant, if you are a VIP or have money, you can bypass that process. A question for you. If I walked into Per Se, took the reservationist or manager over and handed him a 100 (not so much if I am paying 600+ for dinner) and told them that I was calling the next day, do you think I would have an advantage over those who called and were getting 5:30 or 10:30 reservations, as far as getting prime time seating?
  5. This is a question that I need to know the answer to. Also, what defines a great cream cheese?

    Per Se

    If you want to experience the upper-tier of fine dining, then this is the price that you pay. No different than paying jacked prices for World Series tickets. And if you have to ask that question, then maybe it is not for you, yet.
  7. HA! Like I said...I used to drink free. So , about one hour after I would arrive, I wouldn't even remember where I was.... Plus, there were occasional good local DJ's there. Certain Friday's were Latin night........oh my. That's all I have to say.
  8. Hell, I used to walk in around 4am on Sat.Night/Sunday morning, and that was early. You know what the problem is with Avalon......it's too "clean". All the rooms are gone. Blah. The only cool clubs that I went to that were not considered "underground" were Centro-Fly and China Club(because I could drink free), and Space Miami.
  9. True. True. I believe I saw Digweed's last show at Twilo. I'm sorry....I couldn't deal with it on Friday's. Too many 18 year olds trying to show me their glowstick skillz......
  10. I've probably said this before but, around my house, we call it the All Emeril Channel. At my house, we call him "Hemorril" (as in Preperation H). I'd like to kick HIM up the notch, if you know what I mean.... Good lord....what has he done to you all to hate him so much. The brother can be on ALL 24 hours if it was up to me. THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT...I tell ya.......
  11. They'll be more....probably after the summer. He'll wind up with a weekly thing after traveling the world for a bit. My favorite defunct places.....Twilo (on saturday), Vinyl, Sound Factory (the original), Centro-Fly (just closed), and Ohm (now Called DEEP....wierd space, but always had fun there). Oh, and I went to the Funhouse when I was 10.....does that count?
  12. This I know...I am actually trying to get exact prices...everything I've found has been this nebulous. Thanks for the input. Sorry, I was responding to TrishCT, who posed the question.
  13. It is around $40 per person for the steak, I believe.
