I said it's worth another visit for me. What you got above is the
most you'll get from me. I'm not being paid to drum up business. I
don't do restaurant reviews. Others here can do that. Either I like
the place or I don't - I go back or I don't. If I like a restaurant,
I post a link. Other posters who are in this vicinity can decide for
themselves if they want to go or not. I put the name out and the rest
is up to them. I'm not stuck in the sticks like you are. I could eat
at a different (good) restaurant 365 here and never repeat one.

This was for the posters (one in particular) who have a hard time
wrapping their minds around the fact that the restaurants I choose
between don't have fried mushrooms on the menu.

Why do you care? You'll never eat there.

If the restaurants you eat at use doctored bottled dressing.... that's
your problem, not mine.

Sure, I remember what I ate.... various appetizers, sliced rare beef,
fish (not salmon), chicken, vegetables. Food was served family style,
so I had some of everything. If the food's good, I'm happy.
>I bet you got utterly shit faced at that open bar. <G>
Reread the second sentence. <G back at ya> I went to have a good
time and I did.
