    Went to Neir's for dinner and Trivia. Their Happy Hour special is a great deal - 3 app combo for $12.99! They also have drink specials. After chowing down, it was Wiseguys Trivia time. The quwstions ranged from "Everyone knows that!" to "Who knows that?!?!" and everthing in between. Always a fun time!

    I had the Oaxaca chicken and it was excellent. The chicken was tender and the accompanying beans and eggplant in the mole sauce was sublime. The mole was complex with a little bit of heat which I loved. I scraped the left over mole up with tortilla chips. The service was in point. They are friendly and efficient, but never make you feel rushed.

    This is our special occasion restaurant but as a Valentine’s Day, it is no more they charge almost a $13 service fee. No other restaurant in the area does that and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it on their bill. I don’t see what extra service I got for $13 It’s a shame because I live not far from there and I don’t plan on going back. I know it’s a small amount but it’s the point and it’s very sneaky. They don’t even say it on your menu.
