why would you post it in the restaurant thread?
OMG I searched Lakewood, I didn't read the full title

If people are happy with Seared's food at this point I would try that first.

Any details on the 35% off at seared on the adireinu shavous coupon card? It sounds too good to be true.

We would like to apologize. However, the 35% offor the B. M. G promotion, it's not valid. It was a printing era and we will be offering either A.  Glass of wine or a cocktail for each person at the table and a dessert to split or a house shot for each individual of age at the table and one appetizer to split.
Again we apologize for the inconvenience but we look forward to serving you.

I figured it was too good, but this is still very good, for couples going out this is around a 60-dollar discount.

How many BMG couples do you think patronize seared?

I think it's odd  that the Yeshiva would give out coupons for a luxurios restaurant, which seems incongruous with the lifestyle that the they espouse.

I think it's just a show of support/advertising for anyone who's willing to patronize the yeshiva

I remember a couple off years ago BMG was supposed to have an over-the-top chinese auction and the Rosh Yeshiva put a stop to it because of this.

"Couple of years ago"..
Was early 90s if I remember correctly. I actually have the auction book saved somewhere. Would be interesting to dig it out and see how it would compare to today's auctions.

Wasn’t there an upscale BMG parlor meeting a few years ago during 9 days with full meat menu, music and more?

I'm sorry if a business needs people not to know their prices there's a problem.

You lost me at coke buttle...

Can't believe no one else noticed this..

Salt is nice, the manager and I drank once till 1am and then KFWe recap next day.
