[Stacie35]

Add Stacie to the list.

[hjshorter]

Add Scott and Heather Shorter, please.

[Missy]

Do you have room for two more? I'm also a "newbie" and I've love to join you. I'm pretty sure I could drag my husband along.

[Monica Bhide]

Ofcourse!! I added you. Would love to have more people join us

[Al_Dente]

Any word on the menu, cost, etc.?

[Monica Bhide]

Menu should be done in a day or so. I am guesstimating about 75 per person

[Stacie35]

Monica,

Any word on the menu yet? My wish list includes the Foie Gras and Seared Yellowfin Tuna starters. The tuna tartare that came with the Seared Yellowfin Tuna was some of the best I ever had. It was creamy and full of flavor. The foie gras was also good. I was a little apprehensive at first because it was slightly rare inside, but good anyway. Colvin Run is still tops with their foie gras sausage.

Shucks - I adore the restaurant. I'm a newbie and would love to meet some DC foodies but I'll be in Charleston. Won't a Saturday date basically eliminate all restaurant professionals from the festivities? Don't suppose you'd reconsider and do Sunday the 23rd???

[Monica Bhide]

I hope we can do one again where you can come!

Oh man, all of my Pig Pickin’ buddies from DC will be there! I’m dying to go :jealous:

[otello]

Sorry all. My wife just reminded me of a wedding that we have in Jersey on the 22nd. We're not going to be able to make it. I hope you have a good time and will be looking out for future events.

[Al_Dente]

Sorry Monica-- can't make it now. Perhaps next time.

[Monica Bhide]

Malawry is coordinating this. I leave for India on friday -- be back in a few weeks. Have fun

[Stacie35]

Dinner is at 5:30, right?

Stacie

[hjshorter]

I thought it was at 6? I was planning to get there at 5:30 and have a drink just to be sure I got there on time.
