it should be open to the public. i believe its a way to promote yelp and bring in business to the participating restaurants. for people who are unaware of yelp. this event will introduce normal patrons of the participating restaurants to yelp.

Each participating restaurant will have a special Yelp Eats menu.  For $25 + tax and tip, you can order an appetizer, entree, and dessert from the menu.  The menu will be offered all week long, so essentially, you could go out every night to a different participating restaurant if you wanted.  It would be $25 + tax and tip each time though.  Hope that is clear... let me know if not?

Menus will be posted in the next couple of weeks!

7/14/2009 Anthony "Mayor of Oldtown" C. says:

Hmmm.  Digestif and Sea Saw were owned by the same people, so that is possible.  I am asking around... We'll see what they say.

Meanwhile, to pick my plan, I used a spreadsheet.  Lowest score wins.  If the Apps weren't exciting, 3 points.  If the main wasn't exciting: 3 points.  If the dessert wasn't exciting 2 points.  Reputation (according to others or my own) bad rep: 1 points.  Great rep: -1 point (remember low score wins).

That reduced the list to eight.  Digestif was in the top eight so I was excited to have my top seven.  But now that they are back... we'll just have to see.

I haven't called in my reservations yet (will do wed), but baring availability problems (restuarants or friends) my plan is to eat at seven places at 6:30p as follows:

Mon: SOL Y SOMBRA
Tue: ATLAS BISTRO
Wed: DIGESTIF or 12 THE MISSION (depending of who is with me)
Thr: UN BACIO
Fri: SAN GABRIEL MEXICAN CAFÉ
Sat: ROARING FORK
Sun: ROKA AKOR

Maybe I'll see some of you there. I'd wear my magnetic yelp pin, except I don't have one.

I will be sliding some of these around as my friends reply to my email.  My friend Erin avoids seafood (I know I know, but she's fun to hang out with), and she is in for Tue and Sun, so I'm probably gonna have to slide Roka around...  So who knows, maybe Fork and Gabriel will get swapped or something! :)

Wow Digestif is the most bang for your buck huh. Man this whole yelp eats thing has me thinking way too much about food. I might have to flip some coins, pull names out of a hat. I vote for a 2 week event!

Interesting.  If Digestif is offering the Yelp eats menu next week, then I almost have to move them off of this week allowing me to hit not seven but EIGHT restaurants for yelp eats.  Beautiful!

I also wanted to add that the ROARING FORK 'yelp eats' menu goes all summer. I found it on their website in their menu PDFs and it's just their "Summer 3 Course Menu" deal. So if your stomach can't handle taking in all the places in a week, there's that option.

Hi again!

I work for Roka Akor and just want to say we had an amazing week and met the greatest people.  It is truly appreciated all the great support we received this week.  It so exciting to be so busy in the middle of summer!  But for me the bonus was meeting a lot of new guests and was so great to get to know everyone.  I know we will see a lot of the guests return.  

Gabi, thank you for all of your hard work and support.  I can't wait to work with you again in the near  future.

Very sincerely,

Trish

For those of you keeping track, I hit six out of seven.  Dang it, so close to goal!  We got too full at the Trader Vics 3 year free buffet on Friday and never made it to San Gabriel.  

I will write one final review after that summarizing the whole thing.  But tonight, I'm off to Digestif at 6:30p for seven of eight meals sccomplished before heading to free texas hold'em at the upper deck.

In the meantime, here are the ongoing deals yelp-eats like inspired:
Digestif: Yelp Eats today (wed 7/29) and tomorrow only
Estate House 3 course meal $20 ends July 31.
Pasta Brioni 3 course meal $20 starts August 1-31, sun-thr
Roaring Fork 3 course meal $25 till end of Sept (I'd have done them a week later had I known!)
Zinc Bistro $28 three course varying menu till "end of summer", sun-tue

It was great seeing some of you out there!!!
