Rouge was a gem and sadly missed, both for the decor as well as the culinary expertise; however slight after JD left the scene and the establishment slowly bled-out.<br /><br />As most nights I have chosen to treat my wife and friends at Encore have been standing room only, I have to say I am not saddened you choose not to partake, as it means not only our wait for a table may be that much shorter, but much more pleasurable to be sans the company of a dweller of the past rather than a reveler of the present.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-2762223786677532362009-05-12T10:37:00.000-04:002009-05-12T10:37:00.000-04:00Tim,

Many moons ago, I helped a friend in need of financial advice....but I refused to be paid. The friends were former clients and altho they had the means...I just wanted to be of help.<br /><br />They insisted that I take an envelope (with a $100.00 JDW gift certificate inside.) <br /><br />Knowing of the quality of their meals, we decided to wait for a special occasion to use the gift.<br /><br />When we decided to use it, we arrived and found out the restaurant was closed...with no contact info on the door.<br /><br />Our friends live out of town...they never realized what happened. Thankfully.<br /><br />I finally discarded the gift cert.<br /><br />JDW? What I remember all too well were their desserts....which were so awesome that they were close to being "illegal." :)<br /><br />We wish Encore well...but we will not partake....<br /><br />Vodka anyone?navyvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12367264325929819549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-31378889289429119732009-05-10T22:46:00.000-04:002009-05-10T22:46:00.000-04:00WT,
If the wine doesn't get you, the menu will.
...WT,<br /><br />If the wine doesn't get you, the menu will.<br /><br />As for our esteemed Mayor, I am beginning to believe that he and Young Ben are on the same page. There is no such thing as "bad" press. Even recognition like this seems to work for such as these, and as you say, we from Toledo have one more thing to be 'proud' of.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-48029556845889910442009-05-10T17:45:00.000-04:002009-05-10T17:45:00.000-04:00Props to Encore!

I had WSPD on this afternoon for a while, and don'tcha know it...Toledo is nationally renowned once again thanks to Mayor Pantload and his unremarkably idiotic remarks about police and crime.. Once again, I'm proud to be a Toledoan....geez...Winky Twinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963969249789092099noreply@blogger.com
