New Years Eve: The Black Olive three courses for fifty five bucks

The Black Olive, site of our upcoming TheDailyCity.com Martini Tuesdays, is doing a $55 three-course meal on New Years Eve. Also, my waiter the other day told me they stopped the nine buck lunch special in place of lowering several of their lunch dishes to nine bucks. If you order the pasta, they make it "al dente," which to my taste is undercooked and chewy. Just a word of caution.
