The Regency Club

closed!

I had the privilege to attend an event at the Regency Club about two years ago. The food was incredible and the staff was extremely attentive.  I have since conducted several business lunches and dinners at the private club.  I am going to credit my business success to the chef's food and the staff's service!  I highly recommend the Regency Club!

Yesterday I was privledged enough to be in a room with some of the greatest minds in our country.  An event honoring many great scientists from all over this country, for their amazing work and dedication to "improving the human condition".  
The guest list was impressive and I felt a little malapropos and out of place with the high brow, upper class, conversative white folk.  (The only reason we managed to creep onto the guestlist was because of my cousin's boyfriend who is interning for a stem cell research company)  The govenor was invited but didn't show up.  However, I was not disappointed by the people that did.  The Speaker of the House was there, along with the Senator, Mayor, Eli and Edyth Broad (billionaire philanthropist), and scientists from all over the country talking about their amazing work targeting diseases such as sickle cell, AIDS, and cancer.  Using new technologies and experiments in hopes of finding a cure.  It boggled my mind how influential and crucial all these people were and I was casually rubbing shoulders with them.  I was truly humbled by their genius, innovation, drive, and the fevor and passion that was self-evident in them all.  
I have no jokes.  No funny come backs.  Nothing witty to say.
I was sad because we didn't get to stay for dinner, and I probably will never get the chance to have dinner here since its by invitation only or if you know a member.  I however did enjoy the appetizers they had floating around the room which included lamb lollipops, new potatoes with creme fresh and caviar, and cured salmon en crut.  
The ambiance of the place was absolutely spot on.  The place just gave off a feeling of old money sophistication.  Nothing too over the top but true refined Americana.  The decor was rich and elegant and the Christmas decorations were really cute.  There was even a cute gingerbread house.  
Memory of the night:
The old mayor smiling at me and my sister and letting us stand in front of him so we could see better.  Glad to see some people are just sweet by nature.  
The two glasses of wine made me forget for a second how bad my feet hurt.  I never turn down free alcohol :) sweet
