That article is very interesting about the changes that were made to the club. I understand allowing others to have access to the club but its ashamed if they took so much of an advantage of it for 400 reservations a month!
It's one thing to make reservations for friends or even acquaintances, but 400 a month!!!! That is clearly abuse. And to think that the member is responsible for the behavior of their guests too! No wonder they chose not to renew his membership!
That menu looks ok to me - I think I can figure something each course I would like but its also not a good thing if you aren't wow'd when you are spending that much per person.
That pretty much the point, not that there isn't a lot to choose from, I could have chosen two or three items from all the courses except the second. My only complaint is that each of the times that I've eaten there I'm not thinking, "Wow! I'm coming back for this!" or doing the Happy Food Dance as I take each bite.
That's crazy that there were only 4 tables taken at 7:30pm at night!
I know! You would think that the place would be at least half full.
I am all caught up here - again, FINALLY!
The end of the school year is to blame for my lack of posting.
Real life can do that to you!
Have to add that I just adored your fireworks pics - they make me even more excited for next year. Your meal at Club 33 looks good, even though reading through the menu was not as exciting as I had hoped it to be.
Some of your dishes looked VERY yummy though I have to ask and I would have loved to try your dessert.
Thanks for doing it for me.
Thanks! I think a lot of people feel that way. I don't know why it's like that. Sutton's other restaurant, Napa Rose, has lots of wonderful things that I would gladly go back and order over again. Even the Plaza Inn, makes me do the Happy Food Dance. I just wish that this place had the same effect on me. The dessert was very good!
The diamond merchandise looks awesome so far. Love the Mickey statue and the Tiara looks great too! Thanks for sharing.
I'll have to post some of the items that we have picked up. And they will have even more stuff on the actual day of the 60th Anniversary.
How fun to be getting out to DL so often! I know you're close but life often gets in the way. You need some fun interspersed in there
Yeah, it got in the way from March until Mid June. Fran always feels guilty when we're not working, but I have to convince her that we need some fun. What good is life if we can't enjoy it?
Your Club 33 meal looked great! Here is one place that I would have found plenty to eat on the menu. Too bad it didn't live up to par
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, it was nice, just not O.M.G. nice.
Fun that you met up with Bret.
It was nice to see him again, plus he gave me some good tips for capturing the parade on my camera.
Well, I was hoping to fly into John Wayne but when I was ready to buy tickets they were $100 more each way. And I can do LAX as a nonstop. I don't like having to get a shuttle to the car rental but that was the downside. I'll be at PP for four nights, but I'm not worried about the view. No, I don't think the room would be ready that early anyway. I'm ok to stop on the way
If your plane lands at 1:00PM, with picking up your luggage, and getting the rental car, it should take you about 40 minutes to get here at that time of day, so probably between 2:30 and 3:00PM. I can give you the Nickel tour and make us something for dinner.
