Hey y'all: quick note!

Be sure to write all of your Yelp reviews here: http://www.yelp.com/bi...
rather than on the restaurant's business pages. Like Elite events, this is a special treat that the restaurants are providing: not something you'd typically get on an average night at one of these places!

Also- am I correct to assume that if any of these places normally serve lunch, the YE menu is available then too? Not just at dinner?

And, Dio, I totally agree that it would be great if we had a choice of wine or dessert, not being a big sweet person either. But I'm psyched over the whole thing, so "oh well"!!
