Yay!!! I'm excited. The reviews I read of this production

Spoiler:

Meaty! Does steak go with a side of bacon?

Variety ran a really positive review earlier this week. It got me all jazzed.

Steak, good. Patina, not so much. The service is beyond suck.

That said, I'll order a nice steak and a Caesar salad, impose ThinKrisps on everyone, and be happy.

Swing your steak knife high, Sweeny!

I've never had bad service at a non-Disney Patina restaurant.

OK to everyone going -- I'm gonna be in front of the Ahmanson Theatre at approximately 1:30 with the tickets. If you're running late, please give me a call and I'll stick your tickets back with will call. (I think everyone has everyone's phone #s by now lol).

Hmmmmm now I have "I peeeeeeeeeel youuuuuuu..... banaaaaanaaaaaa" stuck in my head again

Hmmmm might be a little issue with dinner -- Cheese man brought home a menu from the restaurant since it's across from where his Friday farmer's market is... it's out of my price range by about double. I don't know why I didn't actually look at a menu beforehand *smacks forehead*. (I'd say it's going to be $80/person at the bare minimum if you get a steak). I'll see what else is walking distance around there, obviously we don't want to repark cars if we can avoid it :P But it's early enough dinner that places won't be crowded whatsoever.

Wait, you mean I can't have those martinis?

That's just what it seemed to me at first glance when steaks are $40 (as you know, in a full dinner versus a la carte the a la carte gets pricey). The restaurant sounds lovely, it really does (and got nice Zagat reviews too).

I don't want to be cheap, but our options are not expensive steakhouse or Dennys, no ifs ands or buts. And I'm going to have a lovely day and not worry too much about what the group wants to do for dinner. I'll go along with whatever.

We could just get appetizers. Those are the price of dinners at most restaurants.

Otherwise, yeah, um, let's try something else. Sheesh.

Hint: I'd like the show to cost more than dinner.
