We will have a number of out of town guests in for the wedding and I would like to have a place to take my family and friends to dinner on the Friday evening April 27. We will have between 25 & 30 people. Could I have a limited menu (say 5 choices) of selections that I chose, offered to these guests? I was thinking of picking up the tab, but I don't want it to get out of hand money wise. Also, do you offer wine and beer or can we bring in our own if you don't offer? How soon would I have to make the reservations and chose the entrees?   Full Name: osbrannon Home Page: None. Date and Time: 2/12/2001, 7:02 PM Comments: My wife and I were in this past Saturday.

I must say we were more than suprised to see such a fine restaurant hidden away, with the esquisite menu, tasteful decor and the homey atmosphere. "I loved the Escargot" but was very impressed with the entire menu at a reasonable cost. The edible flowers added just the right accent to the plate. Good luck to both of you!   Full Name: Marge Clauser Home Page: None. Date and Time: 6.3.99, 10:26 PM Comments: As Innkeepers we rely on Pondo's to take good care of our guests.
