Eeks - hope this not a bad sign. I can hear Jim Morrison now.... "This is the end, beautiful friend...."

I'll bet it's the best damn hot dog you ever ate. Would fries count as the second course or are they included with the first?

Nah... I've been hearing about this thing for a while. It's Perrier's attempt to snag younger diners.

Here's the menu: Garden Room Menu

Where is the Garden room? Is that the dining room on the second floor?

It looks like a pretty good deal: $67 for appetizer, main, cheese course and dessert cart.

I have been "lurking" since I joined last August.  Am really enjoying the passion around my favorite topic.  (I will figure out how to properly show that I am responding to some else's post.)

In responding to Diann's post about the $39 dinner offering, just got finished reading the current issue of the Chestnut Hill Local and Len Lear took advantage of this special.  In a conversation with Chef P. he reports:  "M. Perrier recently admitted that the vagaries of the restaurant business in Phildelphia -- particularly of the explosions of BYOBs and national chains -- have significantly reduced the number of diners willing to spend their children's inheritance at palaces of gastronomy . . . at one time LBF was pretty much sold out every night of the week . . . but that is no longer the case."

It seems they are looking for diners of all ages, not just younger diners.  Hmmmh!

Welcome to egullet, Alonna!

Thanks for clarifying LBF's intent. Regardless of the age of the diners Perrier's trying to attract... it's got ME interested.
