  1. That's great to know about Paggi House--a place I've always wanted to go but feared it to rich for my blood, or budget, as the case may be. Maybe we'll give them a shot on our upcoming anniversary.

    1. Honestly, from the press release I got, I can't really see that the price structure is that different from what they were doing before. It's a really cool setting though, and in the past they've had good happy hour specials! :)
