Fascino's Thursday Feb 26th. 7PM Who's in?

Sue and I are in. I'll call and see if we can get a tasting menu. Do they have a liquor license? If not I'll be in charger of the red wine for the later courses.

Lou

hehe, thanks for the interest...

We will definitely do a tasting menu. Recently we have offered and "unofficial" 5-course tasting menu that isn't on our menu. Waiters offer it to the second seating on certain nights. We are just experimenting with it for now. So far, everything has gone great. We have done up to 8 course tastings for people who ask in advance of their reservation. Just let me know what you guys are interested in.

[Rosie]

I WANT MY OWN ORDER OF POLENTA FRIES AS SOON AS I AM SEATED!

[adegiulio]

Rosie, we do the same thing...Love those polenta fries...

Anyway, count Amy and I in....

Anthony

[Lreda]

O.K 9 in so far.

11 to go.

I suggest we keep it at a max of 20 so they can get the food out and we don't overwelm the dining room. If a party of 20 is too much, Mr Fascino can let us know what the limit is.

Anyone with food allergies or a dislike for cetain things should let me know by the 12th as I will begin to set up the menu with the restaurant.

Lou

P.S. Suzy, shame we'll miss you.

Do we have a price limit? I would suggest $70 or slightly under per person. Let me know.

So that would make it about $90 with tax and tip? Whatever is decided on is ok by me. Just so long as Rosie pays for her own fries.

[fascino]

on a Thursday? Honestly, we have a small room and Thursday's are very full. 12 people is really the max I can do....and I won't be able to do it right in the middle of the night...what time did everyone want to come? I'm afraid 7 may be too hard. It would have to be more like 8:00-8:30 Is that ok?

[Lreda]

8:00 is a little late for us. Could we do 6pm?

[Rosie]

Yeah--I go to bed around 8 PM. 6 is good. And Glenn can pay $90 but I think we could easily do $70 per person with tax and tip.

[dbrociner]

You take time off to have a baby and everyone forgets you (or is that wishful thinking?). If you need one more I can strand Stephanie with the two kids and come alone. 6PM is better for me.

David

[Rosie]

David--You are on the list. And congratulations on the new baby. PLEASE give us the details.

Room for two more. Anthony, what the dillio? You & Doreen in?

Are we all good for 6pm and are we all at $70 per including tax & Grat.

[adegiulio]

In case anyone is counting, anytime is good for us....

3 of how many?

[Rosie]

3 out of 4

[Lreda]

O.K. We've got 10 now. I'll give a extra day, let's say midnight Thurs and we're closed. No more than 12, room for 2 more. We're all OK for a 6pm start.

Mr. Fascino, I'll assume you wouldn't mind us at 6pm. 10-12 please. I'm off tomorrow and will look over the menu to plan a menu. How many courses will you suggest we have for the $70 prix fixe price. I only need to know to suggest wine pairings.

I'll contact Mr. Fascino privately to go over the menu. Please post any allergies, annoyances or other bullshit that I or Mr Fascino can avoid going through at the last minute.

I look forward to dining here.

Sue's driving.

Turley?

[Rosie]

You're bringing a Turley Lou??? We are good for 6 PM. The only annoyance I don't want near me is Glen.

[glenn]

Forget it, you're stuck. I wanna get my mitts on those fries before you inhale them all.

[Double 0]

I haven't been following this thread. Is there room for one more? Six is perfect for me. I work a few miles away in Clifton. I have both male and female Turleys, but Iprefer something with less alcohol like maybe Gaja or Dunn.
