^^I think you can still go to the restaurants below and they have deals on 3 course meals?

YAh the big taste is this yearly thing where you can go to fancy restaurants and try out some of their menu for a special price. THey list Lunch, Dinner and Gourmet. The other stuff is some special package thing they do and it's mostly sold out.

tried booker's and they did a great job.

You save very little money doing set menus compared to regular price I've noticed at a few go to places. Really don't see the big deal on this.

^^ this. I don't find it's a deal at all. I went to Il Songo this year. Yes they give you a "3 course" dinner for the price of essentially one main dish, but the portions are tiny for each dish. The first course was a very tiny salad (which are cheap anyways), and the third course was a tiny, near bite sized piece of dessert. The main dish was also pretty small, so I don't really find it to be a deal. In the future, I'd probably much rather just go and try their main dishes instead, if I really wanted to try a restaurant.

The 3 course meal was $35 dollars. It seemed like the main courses ranged from 20s to 40s. So tbh, it wasn't a deal at all.

+1. Went to Vero this year and the portions were so small. :nut:
