    It's not really in my nature to sit down for 3 hours for dinner, but that sounds worth it.
    Yeah, I'm not really the type either, but honestly, it didn't feel like 3 hours (really, counting the amuse-bouches, you have about 8 courses). Definitely worth it.

      Sounds like a nice Parents thing. That is really inexpensive for the kind of food and service that you are describing.

        Wait, so the 3 course meal is actually 8 courses?

          It's three full courses, but they bring out all these neat little tasting items from the chef in between courses.
          Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

          None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

          I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

            Oh, does "amuse-bouches" mean "in between course tasting items"? I don't know my foodie terms.

              amuse-boushe means something small that is eaten in one bite.

              Chicken wing...not amuse-boushe

              puff pastry filled with something luxurious = amuse-boushe

                  This place continues to sound really great, and $45 is kind of a bargain.

                    For what you get on the 3-course menu, $45 is really cheap. To get 3-courses of fine dining at that price is great.

                      And you can throw in the artisan cheese platter for like 10 bucks more!

                        My only question about this place is how big are the portions?

                        For $45 a pop, I can get a lot of food at Denny's.

                            If you are looking for quantity, my friend, at a place like Forage, look elsewhere.

                              Exactly. If you're going to eat, you should eat your fill.

                                il Pad, I know that you make exceptions to this rule. You do enjoy eating a Fresco and it isn't cheap. I'm not sure $45 per person will get you much food at Fresco.
