I wouldn’t go. We went to Portobello last month for lunch and it was awful. I’d never go back, especially paying more for a special event!
Interesting that they would schedule this special event on Ash Wednesday.
I love beer but I tend not to go to beer dinners as there is always too much food for me and my wife doesn’t drink beer. But I like the fact that these restaurants enlarging their scope.
Would love to go to this but sadly I won’t be arriving until the calendar turns to March.
