DC Restaurant Requires Patrons to Sign Contract Before Eating By By Michael Billy Aug 16, 2011 in Food Washington - New DC restaurant, Rogue24, requires patrons to sign a two-page contact to make a reservation and dine at the establishment. The new restaurant, which only serves a three-hour-long, 24 course or 16 course tasting menu, requires a signature on Chef RJ Cooper's two-page contract in order place a reservation. As if that wasn't enough, patrons must give up their credit card information and agree to the restaurant's rather strict cancellation policy in order to make a reservation. According to If reservations are canceled within 72 hours of the dinner (up to 3 p.m. on the day of the reservation), diners are on the hook for half of the check. Cancellations after 3 p.m. on the day of or showing up more than 30 minutes late for their dinners earn a 100-percent charge. Considering that meals run $175 per person for the full 24-course Journey menu with beverage pairings, forgetful and tardy diners can quickly run up a hefty charge without enjoying a single bite. The contract also bans cellphones and cameras inside the establishment because, "All guests should be able to enjoy the experiences that surround them at Rogue24 free of distraction." So don't plan on sharing your Rogue24 experience with your Facebook friends until you get home. Want to eat at DC's new restaurant Rogue24?
