Recap: 3 Degrees of Separation | The Red Fez

This event came at me on the fly but I thought I would recap what you missed. :)

This networking event was sponsored by Marvin Jones Jr, and Harold Martin, the guys that brought you the Patriots parties at Kings in the fall.

The Red Fez (1222 Washington Street, South End) is T accessible on the Silver Line, and there is plenty of parking both in the back and on the street. By 7:30 p.m. the place was packed! The décor is hard to miss, with really great high ceilings, rich exposed brick arched walls and metal lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There is even an open patio, which will be great for summer time. Most people were hovered around the bar, but it got super crowded so we decided to grab a table towards the back to get some food.

We each got apps, that set us back only $9, though an entree will run you around $22. It’s a Mediterranean restaurant so the menu had an eclectic mix of hummus, tabbouleh salad and other things I couldn’t pronounce :) Still, when the food came we were very pleased. I had a zucchini pancake with yogurt sauce, Michelle had the scallops and Melissa had the shrimp, which they both recommend.

Our waitress was extremely gracious, apologizing for the wait and making sure we knew what was going on with our food all the while laughing at our “company’s” jokes. I got you Mr. Aaron!

Everyone was very friendly and on the network grind, going from table to table to pass out business cards. I was having such a good time that I when I looked at my watch I was suprised to see it was a quarter to 10 - and several people were still having drinks and socializing.

I sincerely enjoyed myself and would come back to another Marvin and Harold event...plus I luv The Red Fez.

Another great event - See you next month guys!
