    The "rehatching" of an old favorite lunch option of Tuscan table at Tuscany has been quite gratifying. I love the varied offerings for this buffet ..(for example today there's spare ribs and beef tenderloin for carving station. Other days maybe roast beef or prime rib.) This variation of weekday menu offerings I believe is even more appealing than the weekday brunch! Today we had Elyse as our server. She was extremely helpful and hard working. She looked all over to make sure we got our requested juice. Thank you. We shall return for more Tuscan table lunch.
