Titanic dinner in Mooresville

Epic Chophouse offers, on April 14, "the EXACT 11-course dinner" served 100 years before, on board the Titanic, with dishes such as poached salmon, lamb and roasted squab. Diners will get a keepsake boarding pass with information on a particular actual passenger; at the end of the night, you find out if "you" survived.

The restaurant plans to arrange its dining room similarly to passenger liners' of the time: tables for up to 10 (so you may be seated with diners you don't know), with appropriate table settings, linens and flower arrangements, and yes, there'll be a string quartet playing both circa-1912 music and music from the James Cameron movie. (And a fiddler will play Irish jigs in the bar.)

$125 includes Champagne reception and diners are encouraged to dress for either 1912 or 2012; 104 S. Main St.; reservations: 704-230-1720. (Photo from ibiblio.org.)

I never, ever comment on stories, but Anon @ 2:53, that made me laugh, which is not easy to do.

Will there be a 1912 Renault Towncar?

It would be great if it were at a good restaurant, not this one

@ 7:44,

Just curious what you don't like about Epic. I've signed up for this event after seeing pretty good reviews across the board (4 star UrbanSpoon, 4 star Yelp, 4.5 star TripAdvisor,4 star Google). When I called one of the owners (Larry I think) talked for at least five minutes about the details they're putting into the dinner (looking at photos to match the table settings, hiring actors to play the Captain and Molly Brown, etc.).

PS: Did anyone get my Renault reference?

We ate at Epic and enjoyed seeing everyone dressed for the dinner. Epic is a great restaurant in all ways.
