We are escorted to a back table on the west end of the restaurant. Our server is a friendly young lady named Cheryl Lynn. This is one of those restaurants where everything on the menu looks pretty tasty – especially when we’re hungry – and it’s hard to narrow down our choices. At the same time, we have an early reservation for Ohana tonight, and we can stuff ourselves silly there, so we don’t want to overdo things. So… we decide to split most of what we get.
Bob and I end up going in together – convenient since we’re sitting across from each other – sharing a bowl of chili as an appetizer and then splitting a “Tri-Corner Sandwich,” which is roast beef and swiss cheese with slaw and a horseradish cream on a focaccia bread, served with fries. The rest of the crew shuffle dishes between them. 
For an appetizer, Becky orders a bowl of clam chowder, while Linda has the
To drink, I order hot tea, which wonderfully warms my throat.
The food comes out pre-split, which works great for all of us. Bob and I are very, very impressed with the chili, particularly being native Texans and thus having naturally strong opinions about what makes good chili. And this is very good chili! (It’s also perfect on a cold day like today!) All of the food turns out to be just as good as it sounded, and we all end up exchanging bites, so everyone has at least a taste of just about everything on the table. Cheryl Lynn is also very attentive and fun to talk to, so it’s a great dining experience all around.
We’ll have to come back here again someday.
When we’re finishing the meal, the boys clamor for dessert. And indeed the dessert menu is very tempting, with offerings such as a three-chocolate brownie and an “Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake.” But to the disappointment of Brandon and Benjamin, we pass on dessert given our early dinner tonight.
It’s past one o’clock when we exit, but it doesn’t seem like that much time has gone by. That’s the sign of a good, relaxing meal.
