New menu is missing some old favorites. I know there is a server shortage, but service was very slow. Restaurant was packed and not staffed as it should have been

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my wife and daughter. Our server, Katelyn (sp?), was wonderful! She had great recommendations, knew the menu and flavors well, was courteous and attentive to whatever needs we had. The menu offered an excellent variety of options especially in the COVID restricted world we live in. Will definitely be back!
