I still have tickets to the 2020 Sugar Shack that they had to cancel. When offered a refund I told them to keep it and use it for whatever they needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I finally got my she-crab soup! And scrolling through this and another thread, I see I'd priced my first-she-crab-soup-in-Alexandria-VA-in-1987 as part of a meal totaling either $3.75 or $5 (I actually think it was the former, and I bet I have a picture of the menu somewhere). Anyway, our meal was a little north of that, but not too bad, considering my three drinks and the size of some of the portions - we took home leftover skate, spinach and wedge salad. The soup and the clams were my faves, and I also liked the turf martini. Maybe I should keep absinthe in the house. Comp disclosure: two glasses of champagne, to acknowledge our 22 years of unwedded bliss. I wish they'd done this after my second drink instead of my third, and maybe before we ordered the eggnog ice cream sundae, which was very boozy. I think our server had second thoughts about bringing us the champagne, because then there we still were, drinking for free, while the vestibule got more and more crowded.

bloviatrix Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Happy anniversary. And yes, you should always keep a bottle of absinthe on hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Thank you! How do you feel about Doc Herson's and Mata Hari? They're available near me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The new "Tables for Two" reminded me I meant to try the new Gage & Tollner. If I book as far out as possible, I can get 5.15/5.30 or 10.00. Neither appeals much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Flon Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Go to Sunken Harbor Club upstairs for cocktails instead! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
