you know you’re at a FANCY restaurant when…
A gin and tonic costs $15
You are served an amuse-bouche. If you choose not to consume the amuse-bouche because you don’t eat goat cheese - or any cheese for that matter - they replace it with a cheeseless alternative.
When you go the restroom the staff re-fold your napkin. If while at the restroom your food arrives they put a silver lid over it to keep it warm.
The cheapest bottle of wine is $80.
You are given a pastry to-go, wrapped in gold foil for your morning breakfast.
Kylie and Jeff treated Marc and me to dinner at Gary Danko last week. Some of the highlights: bacon-wrapped frogs legs, scallops with bacon, fava beans and hearts of palm, corn risotto with rock shrimp and lobster and Marc almost kissed the waiter on the mouth when he brought the cheese cart.
Dinner was a thank you for designing their wedding collateral.
It was a fantastic meal - one of my top 5 - and we had a really great time hanging with the newlyweds. Kylie and Jeff seem to have been transformed a bit by this whole marriage thing. They seem more confident, more in love and seem to be having more fun with each other and those around them. I am so happy for them and couldn’t be more pleased to have Jeff as a brother.
I’d say we have been properly, if not overly, thanked.
