Yelp Cincy's Swanky Sixties Dinner Party was one for the record books. There were hors d'ouvres, old school cocktails, and a three course steak dinner in the formal dining room. What more could you ask for?
"We stepped back in time in our 60's Swanky Sixties attire and the evening began with an array of vintage inspired cocktails including the Blackberry Sidecar, Sazerac, Moscow Mule's and Karen D's favorite? The "Ruby Red Greyhound with pink grapefruit vodka, St. Germain and lime juice."
Yelpers then mingled while munchin on delicious hors d'ouvres like "Warm Crab bites, Fresh Summer Bruschetta, and Smoked Salmon on a cucumber round." Danae B shares, "All were very good, the salmon on the cucumber was so refreshing and the bruschetta was amazingly fresh!"
The Yelp elites then made their way up to gorgoues formal dining and were seated with custom name tags, swanky menus, and tons of class to boot!
The first course was a delcious Steak House Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette.
After a few rounds of liquid courage, the Yelpers shared one interesting fact about themselves, and the tispy tweeting began! This 20 person dinner party "turned out to be a really nice intimate setting and I really enjoyed getting to know more about my fellow Yelpers!" – Nate S
For the second course Yelpers got to choose from a Petite Filet Mignon, New York Strip, Stuffed Chicken Breast, or Salmon. Needles to say, we all went with the Filet…
"Twenty juicy steaks came out sizzling! If this were Iron Chef, butter was the not-so-secret ingredient. Each cut was so tender and mouthwatering, but I swear the sweet potato casserole almost stole the show!" – Elaine W
Dawn P shares, "Everything from the craft cocktails to the melt-in-your-mouth filet was so delicious and perfectly made. The service was on point all night, both downstairs during happy hour and upstairs during our dining experience." Hats off to the chef!
For dessert Yelpers chose from Bread Pudding with Whisky Sauce or Fresh Berries with Sweet Cream. Both were insanely delicious and worth every bite!
After we were full and stuffed to the brim, the ever-so-handsome General Manager Shawn Gardner, awarded Erin awarded a $50 Gift Card for her super swanky best dressed outfit! Angela C admits "it was super fun to dress up Mad Men style" and it totally made the night!
Chelsea C "was stoked to finally find out the mystery of the tounge twister that is 'Ruth's Chris' after watching a great video on how Ruth's Chris got it's start. What an inspiring story! It explains why the staff here are so proud to work at this organization and why the level of service here is heads above the rest. Thanks for an amazing night!"
