I've done 3 so far (Fri Sat Sun) and thus far rank them as follows.
1. Vero Bistro
2. Bocce
3. Black Pig
All have been good in terms of quality, but Black Pig is one of those situations where if you're going to do a big taste menu, don't half-ass it. Don't give me half portions of three items on your regular menu reduce your food cost because the guest is paying $35 instead of the usual $50 for it. It doesn't reflect well on the establishment and this whole thing is about getting people to try your place and demonstrate "here's what we're about" during a period of the calendar where it's hard to fill your place up. This is particularly so for a new joint like Black Pig. If they weren't willing to do a real menu they should have just declined to participate at all, like Model Milk, NoTable, and others.
