"Code" in Newport - $45/pp

For dinner.  No alcohol.  For a friend's bday some people are coming out of town, they just sprung it on us that it would be at a place with a pre fix menu and that it's $45 pp before tax and tip.  So basically, my guess is at least $65 but more like $70.  With no alcohol.  Reviews on Yelp said that the food was EH and drinks are pricey.

Would you go?  I mean, I feel like if I don't go, I don't get to see these people, and I only get to see them a few times a year.  It just seems really pricey

 WWYD?

Re: "Code" in Newport - $45/pp

  • i am laughing because i spent a few seconds wondering what EH stood for.

    i would bow out and see if i could meet them for drinks afterwards.  say i had plans for earlier in the evening.

    you know, lie.

  • I just recently heard about the "Code". I heard it was hard to get in...? I'd be interested in going just to go and check it out.
  • I would find out how solid the plans are, and if not so solid, let them know that the food is mediocre and suggest a better place?

    Or lie. Lying is good in this situation :)

  • I would go unless I was strapped for cash and couldn't pull it off. If that was the case, I would do drinks, per Wan's suggestion.

  • It all depends whether you think these people are worth $45 :)
  • At first, I scoff at the thought.  But these people are worth the $45 for sure.  3 of my 4 bridesmen will be there, and I don't see them that often.  I could always bring a water bottle, I spose. 

    I'll just cancel the spa day I scheduled for myself and it'll be a wash I guess.

  • Is there any particular reason why people want to go to Code?

    I hate bad food even when it's free.  Expensive bad food would really piss me off.

    I am a jerk and would probably suggest another place or two, but I know that this is not very polite.

    But, really, you'd be saving everyone from wasting money on bad food....

    He put a "deposit" down already.  Nonrefundable too.  The only time I've heard of this policy was at Geisha house.  It's weird to think of going to a restaurant that is literally in the parking lot of my work building.

    :-/

  • Code turns to a club after around 1030 PM (like Sutra). I've been there before, the food was OK but not worth the price. Maybe you could meet them after their dinner for drinks?
  • nonrefundable deposit? WTF, do the owners think it's 1998???

  • I was raised that once you are an adult, if you invite people to a birthday party, then that means you are hosting it. ?This is probably old school, but unless it's a super good friend and I know they're poor, then I hold to this. ?So, I wouldn't go.
