Raul, are your saying that it is $199/night for one OR two people? That sounds crazy??????? I'll probably be going "single" and that is way too expensive.

I really want to go but...not sure about the price as well. We want to go up the 15,16,17,18th....$800 plus taxes is almost $900. We may just go to TN and cruise around Nashville and see the fun stuff a few days and come one of the days and hang out for a cruise with everyone. Its not the money, its getting the most of of it ya know. Still thinking hard about it

I may have to bow out. $600 is a lot to spend for just myself. I'll wait till the last minute to decide.

Folks, remain calm...details are coming. Remember, it's all about QUALITY and NOT quantity in life.

As far as the chef, SHE studied at Johnson & Wales in Charleston and worked at the Peninsula Grille. Look them up. A sample of the Tapoco menus is posted on their Facebook page:

Good. J&W is respectable. I know the Peninsula Grille. Now for the wine list.
. (Thanks Sheila) For what is about a $120 daily premium, I certainly hope adult beverages are included[/quote]
Sounds like this one might not be for you.
We are looking at a future event based at the French Laundry. Why don't you wait for that one?

Actually, I'd prefer El Bulli but they have closed. French Laundry is okay but I've already eaten there. I'm open to suggestion, Per Se might be nice.(and not to quibble, but an amuse bouche (literally, mouth entertainment) is a appetizer from the chef to get your palate excited, not a course...but then, I'm just a foodie...
). (BTW, is Chef Carter still at Peninsula Grill?)

Entrees:
Triangoli Ravioli with Roasted Wild Mushroom, Brown Butter Sauce Topped With Crisp Bacon and Green Onions I hate mushrooms..... so this one is out!
Wild Alaskan Salmon With Morels, Thyme and a Touch of Lemon On Spring Pea Risotto hate salmon..... another one out...
Beef Tenderloin With Crispy Polenta, Portobella Mushrooms, Wilted Greens and Pomegranate, Balsamic Vinaigrette ... again,,.. mushrooms.... won't eat it!
Quail Stuffed with Wild Rice, Water Chestnuts, and Apples With Apple Cider Vinegar Emulsion quail... I'm not into that either.... another one out...
This seems like it is going to be a event for people who have lots of cash to burn.... and like weird food!
