We usually eat here on Dec 26th for my husband's birthday. It's always fun, but last night was better! Our chef showed some impressive rhythmic/juggling skills, definitely above average! (Once we had a guy who just took S & P shakers and did a "clack-clack click" a couple of times!) The other group at the table were pretty disinterested, so he bypassed a couple of the old standards, but after the professional drum set (Drum and Bugle Corps Member?), he did an amazing job with everyone's food! made exactly as ordered, including a couple of special orders. It was fun and delicious! See You again soon!
