A trio of us eat here every so often but hadn't realized the menu had changed (quite some time ago, we are told.) Luckily, my favorite item was being offered as a special but, as the staff heard repeatedly, one of our group was lamenting the lack of chicken-fried steak and pecan pie. The food was still up to the high standards to which we are accustomed & the service was top notch. We had a lovely time despite the missing menu faves.
