I am doing a project for my advertising class that centers around Skyviews Resturant. For those of you who still have no idea what or where Skyview is, it is a Laboratory-Classroom Resturant run as part of the RHIM program. It is located on the 6th floor of the Bank of America Buidling on the corner of 19th and University.

I just have the following questions:
  1. Before reading this thread what did you know about Skyviews?
  2. If you have been there, what is your opinion of it?
  3. If you answered the previous question, what was the occasion(s) for going?
  4. If it was that a student in the class there invited you, was it for a dinner series? What was the theme of the Dinner Series?
  5. Have you been there for Lunch?
More questions to follow

Also, I must request that if you graduated with or are currently working on a majoring or minoring in the College of Human Sciences that you not answer these these questions, but instead post your major/minor in the College of Human Sciences.

1. I just know that SkyViews is a restaurant located on the top floor of some bank building with way overpriced food.

Never been so I can't answer the rest of the questions.

Well I can not do anything about the prices, but all I asked is that you answer the questions, thanks Lance.

1. I knew that it was run as part of RHIM, reservations are recommended, they do the dinner series as well as less fancy lunches, and that they're located at BofA.

I've never been either.

1. I knew it was a student-run restaurant on the 6th floor of the Bank of America building. I knew that the students are usually in their final semester before graduation. I also knew that the one student most in charge of running the series gets to set the menu. And that it's part of the RHIM program requirements.
2. It was OK. I'm a really picky eater, so a lot of the stuff I ate around or just kinda pushed around with my fork. There was a little girl eating at another table, and I'm not sure if she had any options other than the fancy menu that was pre-set. I wasn't that impressed, and it was rather pricy, especially factoring in that it's student run and it's part of a requirement for them to do it. It's like going to one of the student-run beauty salons for those in training, and paying Hollywood prices for a haircut.
3. My 21st birthday. (It was so pricy that I didn't even want to ask about alcohol to mark the occasion).
4. I knew the girl who was running it, though she didn't specifically invite me. It was an Italian dinner series, although not the type of noodle/meat/sauce dishes that you find at like Olive Garden.
5. No, though it sounds less structured (the dinner series you have a choice between like two items for each course) so it seems like it might be more my style.

Before reading this thread what did you know about Skyviews?

I knew it was a restaurant on top of the bank of america building and that it was run by RHIM. It offers buffets and other specialty dinners with reservations. I heard it was pricey.
If you have been there, what is your opinion of it?
Have not been yet
If you answered the previous question, what was the occasion(s) for going?
n/a
If it was that a student in the class there invited you, was it for a dinner series? What was the theme of the Dinner Series?
Actually a student did invite me to a dinner series she was hosting but I did not go because I had other engagements.
Have you been there for Lunch?
No, but I am willing to try anything once

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
