Whiffenpoofs
We've had a guest coming here who's kind of like our guardian angel since we've opened. I guess every small business must have a person like this who seems to be particularly looking out for them. I swear, I've had the feeling on some Thursday nights in January when the restaurant was completely empty, that he just grabbed his wife and said "Let's go down to Chez Nous and make sure that they have some customers tonight!" and shown up for dinner like that. He and his wife have dined here nearly alone on more than one occasion.
Last night, however, they decided to bring a gang: the whole group of Whiffenpoofs from his Yale college class, who were having a special reunion. It was a great experience for us to see these incredible gentleman -- still the best of friends for over 50 years -- breaking out into song throughout the course of their meal. The entire restaurant was charmed. This institution of a capella singing (foreign to our foreign employees and to Franck -- what better way to discover it?) is just so charming and captivating. We all had an amazing night. Merci!
