It is, but you know how fast reservations - especially for a larger party - disappear during Restaurant Week!

I know. Hold one for me - I don't think it'll go unused even if I have to cancel.

Put me down for Acadiana. I'm going to be coming off a redeye on the 16th, so I'll be too tired to head out to Vidalia.

Put me down for Vidalia.

And I might as well request the wait list for Acadiana.

By the way, I am slightly confused. When I looked at the Restaurant Week website (looking to set up a work lunch), it says Vidalia is participating only for lunch. I'm fine with a non-RW meal there, but one might want to anticipate the higher price without the RW deal.

Open Table has it listed for both lunch and dinner. I phoned Vidalia and the person with whom I spoke said there was some confusion - they were only supposed to be participating for lunch, but somehow on Open Table, they're listed for both. She said they're now likely to participate for both (she also said they expect to honor Restaurant Week prices for reservations made through the link on Open Table). I think we're safe to keep the reservation.

Put me on the wait list for Acadiana. When checking thier website, every Mon they have a special fix priced menu for those who can't make it. Seems to be what they are offering for resturant week.

I would request that gvdIAD put Franny and me down for the Vidalia reservation on 16Aug. Right now we are better than 50-50 to be in town thru the 17th and will confirm within a few days.
