thoughts on tasting
At the Milleridge, they hold tastings in the banquet office while they are cooking for other events. That way you get to taste the real thing - not just something that was prepared to just sell you on signing the contract.
Offer to go when they have events planned - and ask to taste lots of stuff at once. You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it first to make sure it suits your needs....this is one of the biggest expenses you'll have in your newly married life. Be very critical....someone on this board suggested that you shouldn't have to taste because , if its a fine establishment - there should be no question as to the quality of the food. Just yesterday I was speaking with a very well educated professional who bought an Infinity without driving it first. Great car, right? He hated how it handled and sold it. Not all things are the same for all people....)
It is important that you be completely comfortable with your decision. If you're not - go elsewhere. There are plenty of other people out there who will cater to your needs. You shouldn't have to 'push' for anything...
