Had a nice post-Thanksgiving lunch there, with visiting family. Everything was very good, very well done. The salad that one of us ordered had the most unusual item on it! Two red rocket-shaped things. She didn't eat them. But we all agreed there must be two male dogs out there that got what was coming to them.
