Rico began telling jokes in 1980 when he became the third guy on his block to give stand-up comedy a try. Unlike the other two guys, he stuck with it. This started a multifaceted career in the entertainment industry.
He sharpened his improvisational skill with Cincinnati's original comedy troupe, The Fairview Impromptu Band. In 1994, Rico joined the Second City. As a main stage cast member of the Second City - Detroit, Rico co-wrote and performed in six revues. He also found time to direct the SC-D touring company. He completed his Second City resume in 1997 by becoming SC-D’s producer. He also co-produced the television series Film Fest 7 with the Second City. |

Valentine's Weekend
|
Man has always been endeavoring to discover the mischievous powers of the dishes on his table. While these ideas have become trivialized in this age of vitamins and de-constucted flavors, we would be lacking the most basic element of gastronomy if we doubted one of the overriding truths about food: there is an undeniable complicity between table and romance.
It may be difficult to witness this phenomenon at a busy restaurant in the throes of a holiday weekend, but look carefully in the corners. There’s a certain mysticism shrouding a couple who have been married for fifty years, still holding hands, in the corner of our Main Dining Room. Or a young girl in the Dining Car, weeping as her date proposes to her over dessert. Try to find that while ordering a box of steaks over the Internet.
A magnum of love, a pinch of decorum, a touch of romanticism, an attractive plate and magic sets in. The magic begins in the kitchen, where young chefs never consider a red pepper to be a soulless vegetable. The magic extends to the tables where excited waiters still consider service to be a profession.
Of course, we will be busy, and reservations will be at a premium. We urge you to call early, and consider Friday, Sunday or Monday night reservations as an alternative to Saturday and Tuesday.
As we celebrate our thirty-second consecutive Valentine’s Day, we continue to be excited about special events, romantic holidays and loyal customers. After all, we see the couple in the corner every week!
$59.00 per person. Club Members & Guests, $47.00.
In addition to our regular menu, this menu will be available
Saturday, February 11 thru Tuesday, February 14.
