I have to agree with Lindsay about the white grape martini... so sweet, and with that sugared rim, my hands got extremely sticky! I'm also right there with Jodi about the beef - it was extremely awkward to eat sans knife, and became quite the topic of conversation as the evening went on.<br /><br />Also, I don't think I've ever been asked to leave a blogger tasting until this event. I didn't get the sense from the staff that they wanted to be serving us - our group was given the stinkeye on more than one occasion (perhaps because we were overflowing the area set aside for us?). I did not feel particulary welcomed.<br /><br />But the food was quite good! My favorite was the beef, even with the cutting issues. Thanks for the review (and sorry for the superlong comment!)

My only real complaint from the tasting was the white grape martini, which was much too sweet for me and I couldn't finish.
