    Taxi: remember...red plate. Make the deal before going, and be clear about the trip details...I'd suggest keeping the same guy round trip. Tell him about all your stops. If he's yours for a couple hours, driving you wayyy out to the deep West End...and back...with a couple stops...and you are buying breakfast...two people...shoot for $30+/-, plus a tip....sounds fair for a private, safe ride and a few hours time max.

    I'd drive you for that. LOL. You COULD get a route taxi for a lot less....I'm not condoning it. Just sayin'. It's possible...so...remember that when negotiating.

    Bentley's is on Peewee Lane (local name). It's not far up on One Love Drive (West End Road). Your driver will know.

    I agree with dbrook, you can arrange with Bentley day-of. But If I were you, I'd try to call the day before and set it up...you're more likely to get exactly what you want....menu-wise.

    BTW: his grilled lobster, curry goat and crab cakes ALL rock. Don't forget to ask for what you want to drink with dinner when you call.

    Thanks Brasi! If I did hire a driver for $30+, would he wait for us at Jackie's for that price, or just arrange a time to pick us up? Because I'm not really sure how long we will be out there but probably at least 2-4 hours. Seems like a very fair price either way. I've been craving curry goat like crazy...can't wait.
