Gitane: March 4, 2011

Gitane was a lovely Mediterranean/French/African (?) cuisine. My ribs were up there with the best I've had - sticky sweet, and a large portion. Bacon bonbons were also pretty damn good. For dessert, beignets with "naughty cream" were definitely naughty good. This was Julia's pick - and the first to start off 2011. I loved the chandeliers and decore at this Union Square spot.

This starts off year SIX of Restaurant Club!!! All 4 original members still hanging in there. Now, Gail is married & pregnant (due in June). Steph is in a serious relationship with Clay.

Frisson

First ever meeting of the Restaurant Club! This swanky Financial District restaurant/lounge was the perfect choice to kick of our new R. Club (ultimately, Frisson to close down). After hearing Dionne state that she didn't want a drink due to a supposed hangover from the night before, the truth came out that she was preggers (with Matty). We got a free bottle of wine from Gail's friend, JP. The atmosphere was better than the food here. Just the beginning of years of fun... 5/20/05

October 28, 2011: Julia's pick. Once again, photo expired but here is the Jayne family in october 2011!

Opaque: Dining in the Dark

(Dionne's pick). Was quite a trip to dine int eh dark. We couldn't see anything, it was pitch black!! Was scary at first, then fun, then hilarious. The service SUCKED - it was the waiter's first day. And he told us to be quieter because I guess someone was complaining. Food was not even that good, except for the first course of tuna tartare. Very overpriced ($99 pp), plus then booze (stemless glasses). Kind of a rip. 4/25/09.
