That’s pretty much standard operating procedure for the swinging septet. Whether playing Council Bluffs, Iowa or Disney Hall on New Year’s Eve, the Los Angeles-based, globe-spanning Big Bad Voodoo Daddy puts its all into its high-energy, horn-driven music. Their wowed audiences have included a Super Bowl halftime crowd, anyone who has seen the movie Swingers, and three US presidents.

Dinner with Dave is a 100% free event with a complimentary light dinner at Memphis at the Santora in the Santa Ana Art District AND live music. The event kicks off with a DJ at 9 PM, then the live band and dinner start at 10 PM. It is a bit of a late start, but it's F-R-E-E. With that said, arrive early and enjoy a drink at their bar (optional). This is a great group date idea for 21+ The single-course dinner is served buffet style and according to many Yelp reviewers, Memphis at the Santora is yum! Parking is free here, either on the street or at a parking lot a block away. Wow...Free food, no cover AND free parking! What a deal! So mark your calendar for every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month (yes, it's bi-monthly!!).

You do not need an invitation or a coupon. Just come on by. Click here for the flyer Due to the high intensity of customer traffic, we strongly recommend: That you come in on earlier days, Tuesday or Wednesday, to fully enjoy the event as it gets real crazy toward the last day, Thursday; That you call in for take-out orders at least an hour ahead of time (many have even called in the day before in the past!); And that if you dine in, check with your Curry House location on its altered operation hours daily and try to be there early. We hope we'll see you at your local Curry House restaurant during this special event.
