Ours only does it on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and I had to schedule it at least one week in advance. It was a trek (from Irvine to LA on a week night), but it was well worth it!
My venue only does tastings on the last Thursday of each month. This is a problem because my fiance is a firefighter and works 24 hours shifts and happens to be working on that day for the next few months. We won't be able to finally go until 2 months before the wedding, but want to know what we are selecting to include it on our invitations. We tried to work something else out with the venue, but they aren't budging. We are beginning to wonder if we made the best decision with the place. They also originally told us they could accomodate up to 300 people, but now that we are trying to get things set we find out the main room can only hold 188 people and the rest of the guests would have to be elsewhere and couldn't even see us.

We can only do our tasting on Tues/Thurs anytime between 12-4 or 6. I think thatthis is pretty normal. If you think about it - would you want the chef worrying about another couples tasting on the Saturday of your wedding or would you want him prepping for yours.
Is there anyway that you could just take an extra long lunch - go to work in the morning leave for th tasting and then come back?

We're having our Tasting this month (wedding's in September) I don't recall when they schedule them (every quarter or something like that.) It's always on a Wednesday night @ 7pm. It'll be my FI and I, my parents and 100+ brides and grooms. They cook EVERYTHING on the menu. I"m so excited to eat... Ha Ha Funny story on how my FI and I found this venue is b/c I got lost driving home... Was amazed by the Palm tree driveway, pulled in was shown around the venue clearly seeing that they were busy setting up for a Tasting that night. It didn't matter to them. They didn't look annoyed that we kind of just showed up. Crazy how our turn's coming up
Thanks BH!
Unfortunately I have to take most of the day off for our tasting, since they only do it for lunch (latest 12:30 pm) and on the weekdays and I my commute (on public transportation) would be about 45 minutes each way. I may come in to work for a few hours, but that's it.
I guess I'm making more of it than it is. PTO is so precious and my FI and I tend to have to use a lot of it (moreso him), cause I work the regular weekdays 9-5 and he works 3-midnight (Wed/Thu off). So our time together is Wed/Thu nights and Sat/Sun until lunchtime.
We only get to try 2 entrees + 1 vegetarian, plus a salad. We don't get to try the prime rib, or hors d'oeuvres. So basically we either need to like what we taste or take a chance on something else.
I'm thinking we might have a date night in their restaurant sometime.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
We have just scheduled our food tasting at our venue for our reception and they only offer this on the weekdays. I was just curious if others had the same experience. Our reception is in a hotel so that may be a factor. Oh and they require that it be done at lunchtime, probably because they do it during their regular restaurant hours, but it's such an inconvenience since I have to use my PTO for it and I'm sure you bees will agree PTO is very precious when you're planning your wedding.
