    We had a wonderful evening at Smitty's last night! I had the special salmon with orange buerre blanc and my husband had the chicken paillard, which he loves! Our friends enjoyed their steak and the special meat dish too. Everything is a bit more expensive these days but I was happy to have my one Old Fashion cocktail and the rest of the party went in the same direction. What we noticed is that Smitty's had a favorite app that we used to often share in years past and it's not on the menu now. It's the tiny, thin onion rings and french fries served together. Probably best it isn't there these days but it sure sounded good!
