   The pretzels dogs were cooked and so hard I could not bite into them. This is a tough menu to have for three weeks! Had to wait quite a while to be seated.

   I am very sorry to report that the pot roast dinner was subpar on Sunday night for my husband and me. The ham and bean soup, while tasty, was served tepid. The pot roast dinner was barely warm and the meat was half uneatable fat. This was a surprise because the meals had all been wonderful since the new program began. The service was fast, in fact, the entres arrived just a minute after the starters. The wait staff was very nice (Kate) and we are extremely impressed with the dinners we've been enjoying. Thanks, you are doing a good job.

   We were happy to be seated in a side room, which is usually quieter. We tried small portions of most of the Thanksgiving dishes and filled our plates. So many great food choices and we found they were as tastey as they looked. Very happy with the new chef and the staff. Servers are always very friendly and helpful. We were well fed and on our way in good time. A fine dining experience.

   This week's menu is wonderful. The service was very good in spite of the fact that some folks had to wait for a table. The restaurant was very crowded (may have a lot to do with this menu).

   Great! Swordfish was delicious! I did not care for poke …. So much sesame oil! Potatoes with Swordfish not worth the calories! I enjoyed artichoke hearts! My daughter enjoyed filet and lobster. Server did not bring anything for baked potato… no butter, sour cream???? Strange presentation ! Overall great experience,

   No skim milk. No wheat rolls. Poor cheese and dressing substitutes for “Caesar Salad”. No cappuccino. What next? No dessert? No water? But server did the best she could. I felt sorry for her having to say, “sorry” again and again.

    No wheat rolls. No skim milk. Order was wrong (served sugar spiced salmon instead of lightly grilled salmon). I sent it back. Kitchen then sent poached salmon with original vegetables which had then been cooked 3 times. By then everyone had finished dinner so I ate a bit of the poached salmon, very little of the cremated vegetables, and ate some soup back in my apartment.
