Well -

We just live down the street from Bilbo Baggins. We no longer go there, as the staff attitude is one of "If you're over 40, get lost, you ancient jerks!" We were patrons when the place was known as the "True Vine," and we we were regular and frequent patrons during the early years of the Bilbo Baggins experience.  However; they've either lost their touch, or they have decided that their extensive wine bar is their salvation. Standard individual entrees will vary, in both quality and in preparation, from day to day - -  and one has to wonder if the same chef is in the kitchen on a daily basis. Dining at Bilbo now is truly a crapshoot.

Oh, and by the way, the last time we reserved a table for four on a Friday evening, two years ago, they had *lost* our reservations. So, we went around the corner to Ecco, and had a delightful meal.

George
