    I donated blood platelets at Red Cross and the staff said to increase iron in my diet so made reservations at our local steak place. Doctor's orders! Had the filet with horseradish cream, a wedge salad, brussels and fries on the side. So good! Only sad I couldn't have a cocktail or wine since you're not supposed to drink after donating blood:( Luckily, we got a table inside since it was a bit chilly to sit outside in the streatery.

    Thank you LV Mar!!! I brought my parents and in-laws in to celebrate my birthday, yesterday. The food is better than ever. They have fantastic seafood options and everything we had was a hot. Our favorites were the scallop tacos, guacamole, quesabirria and coconut flan for dessert, but everything was enjoyable We were treated so well that my family members , who have traveled and eaten all over the world, took notice of the patient and warm service. We can't wait to see you again!!
