Interesting. Seems to be a change in direction from the past few years where tickets were ~$800 per person and sounded more cocktail party style/all you care to enjoy, and I believe was just one "seating". Last year was Tiana themed.

This seems like a nice correction and a much better deal.

And this year also spans out to the 30th too.

Still $&$, and above what I'd be willing to spend, but the menu does sound appealing. And it is better than last year!



It would be rough though if say, you booked prepaid this offering and then came down w the flu that day or something and had to cancel that day. Even just for two pple, that's $700plus tax! $745 still buys quite a few groceries.
