I believe they only seated between 6-10 people a night. All I remember from the review was that someone mentioned sitting in a lounge are and having appetizers and getting to know the other guest before having dinner. I've googled and yelped and can't seem to find anyone doing something like this. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks!

However, they do it on a slightly larger scale, maybe 30-40 people per night. But it's in a house, you go down to the wine cellar for apps and wine, then up to the living room where the tables are set up.

That is certainly on my list of places to visit - but I swear I heard of a much smaller operation. Perhaps it's not even an actual restaurant - perhaps it's a more covert operation. Thanks for jogging my memory though - you may be entirely right. Sun Nov 01 15:06:18 -0800 2009 5147514 1120902 YourBestFriend 3 5147601 Maybe this is more what you're looking for? I've never been because I haven't been invited. http://tinyurl.com/ycp8yot Sun Nov 01 15:43:47 -0800 2009 5147526 13464 lil mikey 1 5149178 Used to be called Zanzabelle in Silverlake area, now they moved to Pasadena.

Attended one of their dinners at a historic residence; there was a short lecture about the architect/home between courses and the food was amazing (and local!). Good times. Here's a link to their site: http://www.chickswithknives.com/ Fri Nov 06 21:06:59 -0800 2009 5147492 1122424 laconfidential 1 5162677 PS - was just checking out their site, it appears they have dinners throughout the Southland.
