I think their ultimate feast for two is $88 or something like that. So with tax, maybe $95...eh, might have to spot a bit of the tip unless you want to be a cheap SOB.

Oh, right, and good luck getting the Technician to sponsor alcohol on the bill

well... time for me to crank out my writin skilz

Does the ultimate feast for two include dessert? There's no point going to the Melting Pot unless you get dessert.

2/11/2004 9:24:14 AM

amen to the dessert part. My wife and I quit eating there and only go there for dessert and froofy drinks for her.

2/11/2004 9:54:51 AM

2/11/2004 10:14:35 AM

2/11/2004 11:10:20 AM

Let's do fondue, k

The 100 year old cognac is amazing- that was once a dessert I shared with a special someone. $35.00 a glass and brought to the table by the owner/manager. Very nice.


Any old single men on here? Maybe I should pull out my writing skills

2/11/2004 2:00:10 PM

2/11/2004 6:47:57 PM

i don't enough time to waste on something i don't really want. ok yeah i'd love to get a nice free dinner. but i'm not looking for any dates.

2/11/2004 7:04:24 PM

Can you write a kick-ass essay and then bring your own date?

2/11/2004 8:14:33 PM

^ YEAH, CAN YOU? Then if I could just find one I wouldn't have to rob Marko from his cradle. Oh, and Laura, no romantic writing french allowed, n'est pas?

I believe that should've been d'accord... but... n'est pas will do in this case.. it just sounds a bit awkward though I really shouldn't be correcting anyone's French...

2/12/2004 4:02:00 AM

Especially not when you don't know enough to correct it to n'est-ce pas to begin with.

you can get dinner for two, a bottle of wine, and tip...all for under 100

2/12/2004 7:16:54 PM

with dessert? Could you do dinner for two with the three course meal (salad, fondue, dessert fondue) and then wine for $100? If not, what would you give up.

2/13/2004 12:52:35 PM

so when one does this do they say something like...

*sexy tone*
Hi, my name is Tiffany and I'm a taurus. I like long walks on the beach and romantic candle light dinners. I like traveling, outdoor activities, and sex... lots of sex.

sorry... had to say something...

2/13/2004 8:31:09 PM
