Everything was wonderful. The only thing I would change was to give 2 of the Smoked Salmon appetizer or 1 per person if more than 2 at the table. It was very awkward to cut in half to share. All the other appetizers were easier to share. It was also Valentine’s Day so this would have been the right thing to do.
