I received the following information in a recent e-mail message. Perhaps others will be able to use this offer. I had the best filet mignon in my life last month at Gioco's.

way cool! Red Light is great.

just got my cert in the mail, thanks.

How long did it take for you to receive it? I just spotted Opera on the Idine website.

about 4 weeks

What a great deal!

But I don't know which restaurant to pick. They all look great. Help! Especially from you, Sweet Willie, since you kinda know my tastes in restaurants.

...ess

pick Red Light, Jackie Shen is a wonderful chef and I think you will like the pacific-asian food.

Perhaps we will go next time you are in town?????

Okay Sweet Willie, I took your advice. Since the cert isn't good on Saturday nights, how about Nov. 16th, a Sunday? Guess we should keep it to a small group, eh?

{{{edited to add}}}

Of course, Nov. 16th is only a little more than three weeks away so maybe I should count on that cert in time for a FT dinner???

yeah, not much time. are you coming in then or were you thinking about it? I have no weekends available until February.

Hope y'all signed up for these emails.

Just got a $50 cert to Marche in my email.

Don't know how I missed this before, but just signed up. Red Light and Marche are two of may favorites, and neighbors, as well.

used my $25 cert at Red Light the other night.

Pork & foie gras dumplings, very good
five spice ribs, very good
Vietnamese grilled beef rolls, EXCELLENT

I had the squid, tangerine, crispy noodle salad which Judi and I both devoured.

Also outstanding was a beef special, a marinated rib eye, then sliced up and wok'ed with an oyster/black pepper sauce and mushrooms/scallions. WOW, great!

FWIW, this free cert offer is still going on ^

still going......

Thanks--still on and we just signed up. Love Opera and Gioco--we live in Printer's Row and these are just a walk away. ^
