I agree with gleff. I went to Signatures in DC to wine tasting dinners on consecutive Tuesdays. The first had about 10 patrons other than the tasting. The second, we could not get in the door, and through the bar area to get to the tasting. The front area was a madhouse, and very noisy. I cannot imagine that service or food was worth the saving.
The tasting dinner was spectacular. None of the staff was pulled to handle the patrons in front.
