We haven't been there in many years. We used to like it a lot, but then we
went once and had a meal that was barely mediocre. We're usually willing
to ascribe one bad experience to the chef's having a bad day, or
something, so we tried again. No better. We haven't been back.
We would appreciate comments from anyone who has been there recently.

On a scale of 10, everything was at least a 7, and several items were 8 or 8.5 -- ie, it was all pretty tasty. Service was good, considering it was Sat. night and pretty busy. I think there's an entertainment book coupon for dinner as well ... good luck!
