California Grill

Has anyone dined at CG on New Year's Eve. I called and it's $500.00 pp. They have a special menu, of course I can't afford it because it would cost $2,000 for us. I would love to know is it worth it? Would you pay 500.00 for a special dinner?

Well....considering how terrific CG is on every other night for a LOT less, including appetizers, entrees, wine and dessert, I would say no. Go on another night.

:sulley:

Wow! Is that the price for the entire restaurant on that night?! Too much for my pocketbook!

[AllDisney]

I could not justify that price. No way:twocents:

[Joannelet]

I wouldn't pay that for any restaurant.

I don't know...here is the info from 2008--sounds pretty amazing...also, Victoria & Albert's does something similar for NYE.
