    The food was quite good. Just small misses on some entrees that would have knocked it out of the park (e.g. the chicken pot pie came in a giant bowl with a puff pastry on top that was smaller than the bowl and disproportionate to the pot pie serving). There seems to be a new performative element to the dinner, which we hadn’t experienced in the past few years, we found delightful and funny. Otherwise the lighting, serveware, and atmosphere was what we hoped.

    Went on Taco Tuesday for the all you can eat tacos. The food was delicious. The server was mistaken on what exactly we ordered, so the initial plate came with rice and beans. Make sure to order the Taco Tuesday special, or they will charge you for the rice and beans. In any case, the margarita was good too, just a nice place for a mid-week dinner. Saw other menu items brought out to other tables and it all looked and smelled wonder.
