Arrangements for the Group Photo

By Gloria Quincy -
We would like to gather all of our guests together to take a large group photo--to commemorate our esteemed assemblage in all its costumed glory! Thus, we ask that you arrive by 6:15 (the doors open at 5:30) so that we may take this photograph before the sun sets. If the weather permits, we will take the picture in the outdoor courtyard at Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant. Our photographer, Beth of BWPW Photography, will take shots both with her camera and with Gloria's camera as backup. The photo from Gloria's camera will be made available shortly after the dinner, while the photos from Beth's camera will be professionally edited and available on her website. (Copies with a small watermark will be offered free of charge, while copies without the watermark can be purchased according to the pricing posted here.) Since we have 40 people attending the dinner, we ask that guests do not also attempt to take their own pictures of the whole group during this time, so as to avoid having people stand for an extended period.

Francaise Dinner 2017!

This year, we ask that you make your dinner selections when you book your ticket.    A full booking includes the names of all people in your party, who is ordering what (Alice – chicken, chocolate cake; Bob – crab cakes, cheesecake), and payment.  Please also let us know any allergens the kitchen should be aware of at the time of the booking.  Knowing names, rather than strictly the numbers of each entrée, helps us help the servers, especially in the case of allergen disclosures.  We will work with you and the kitchen to ensure you get safe and tasty courses. The ticket price is $65.  This includes bread service, a garden salad, your choice of entrée, your choice of dessert, a champagne toast, and non-alcoholic beverages (soft drinks, iced tea, coffee).  A cash bar will be available. The menu selections: Entrée (all served with roasted potatoes, unless otherwise specified, and seasonal vegetables) Maryland-Style Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes – Lump crabmeat prepared in the t
