I was also thinking about getting my dad the "Chef's Special", knowing him and how stingy he is with money, if you gave him an ala cart menu, he would probably order only one thing!

I, however, did not get a menu to take home. But I did get the Unagi, so maybe I'll call it even. Wondering if you could do me a favor. I got the wine pairings as well, I'm trying to remember the wine I had paired with the Turbot. I'm hoping your menu has the recommended pairings printed on it as well. Would appreciate it tons if you could check your menu and let me know, thanks.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582014908461034937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993748745724265141.post-68692948606675405002009-09-03T11:03:22.027-07:002009-09-03T11:03:22.027-07:00Fabulous!
