"When I met some friends for dinner at this restaurant at the end of October, I liked it so much that I made a mental note to write something later. I've just signed onto Yelp, and this is my first review.\n\nOur group of friends hadn't seen each other for a while. Busy catching up, we didn't open our menus for quite a while. I was impressed that our waitress (her name might be Mel) kept coming back in the nicest way to check on us, but didn't interrupt our conversation. She kept letting us know that she was ready when we were. \n\nWhen we were finally ready to order, she asked: \"Separate checks?\" Terrific. That was exactly what we needed.\n\nI hadn't expected to like the food, because I had heard and read that it was all the high-calorie \"comfort\" variety. It was a nice surprise that I was able to get low-calorie substitutions for the sides that went with my entree.\n\nOverall, it was a very nice experience."^^ . . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . .
