Tamburlaine Back Up And Running
The Shakespeare Theatre let us know that after a brief cessation of performances of Tamburlaine due to an injury to Avery Brooks, the lead for the production, the show is back on and will resume with tomorrow’s 8 pm performance. Edward II, running concurrently with Tamburlaine, was not affected and both productions run until January 6, 2008 at the Sidney Harman Hall at 610 F Street, NW.
What’s The Price For A Mistake?
Mrs. Columbo and I went out for dinner two nights in a row this week, first to Rosa Mexicano, and the next night at Proof. Overall both meals were very good, but each restaurant had a hiccup with our night out, and each handled it differently.
At Rosa, we discovered that one of our wine glasses was very dirty on the inside. But because it was red wine we didn’t notice this until we had drunk below the line where the crud was (a little less than 1/2 of the glass). It looked something like baked on cheese. Our server was apologetic and replaced the glass of wine.
At Proof, they were not able to seat us at our reservation time. We had to wait a little over 30 minutes before our reserved table was cleared & we were able to be seated. The manager brought over complimentary champagne & apologized profusely for the delay.
In neither case were we angry, or did we even complain (except to ask our server at Rosa to get us a clean glass). I have no complaints with how either handled the situations; obviously Proof went much farther in bringing us free drinks, but I didn’t think they were necessary for a 30 minute delay. While this may be a better question for Tom Sietsema it made me wonder, what do you expect when you have an issue at dinner?
Weekend Perp Caught – Tunnel Fine Wines Open
A quick call to Tunnel Fine Wines & Spirits yesterday revealed that they are now open for their usual business hours after last weekend’s incident. The police caught the crime’s perpetrator within an hour of its commission and since he violated probation (among other things apparently), the anticipation is that he’ll be staying in jail for a while. This store and the new buildings under construction in the Mount Vernon Triangle are in Ward 6. We hope that both the DC Metropolitan Police (MPD) and Ward 6 Councilmember, Tommy Wells, are undertaking plans to prepare the neighborhood for next year’s influx of new residents in the approximately three block radius surrounding this store.
