Says Theresa: “We’ll be at the Canasta show around the corner (literally) that night and figured you might be headed there too. The reviews look promising for low-key quick Korean and asian food from a Chic graduate who worked at Vermillion. Since I apparently can’t pick a restaurant that accepts reservations, I’ll be there a bit early to get a table or two. Please RSVP by 5pm on Friday.”

Says Sam:

“I’m not going to cut and paste any descriptions from their website, since we all have the internet.  I will just say that I have not had a bad meal there, everything I have tried is exceptional, the service is great, it is a reasonably priced BYOB, I give it 4 Stars.

“To get there, since it is far and impossible via standard cta routs, I am offering a 1 spot pick up and drop off via my Band Van.  It seems that Lincoln Square is the best spot as far as popularity goes so perhaps drunk club should be held at the Grafton or some other convenient spot (I’m open to suggestions).  Just let me know.”
