Recs for wedding reception cocktails - Chinese banquet
We are having a small wedding reception (30-40), the food is Chinese Banquet with most of the menu being seafood, and we are looking for 2-3 drinks that we can bring in that will go well with the food and help people enjoy the evening. The restarutant won't allow us to bring beer, but wine, hard liquer and cocktails we premix are okay. We don't drink often - Asian flush =) - and neither do our guests but we want to offer drinks that will be good for socializing before the food starts and possible go with the food.
The drinks we do like tend to be mixed ones on on the fruity and sweet side and we are probably going to get champagne so things to mix in with that would be great too.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Zabu Zabu in Berkeley. How is it?
We went for dinner on a Friday night recently and the service was disgraceful. Our table never got tea, had to remind the wait staff that rice was included with the shabu shabu order, received the wrong small plates, never got our water glasses refilled, and on top of that we couldn't even get the check to pay so we just did the math ourselves. The food was fine, though the anemic plate of veggies that come with the shabu shabu just seems cheap considering you are paying over $20/person. If you go make sure to have a reservation. Our meal was pushed to well over 90 min b/c of the slow service and upon leaving we saw almost the same people still waiting to be seated that we saw on our way in.
