I'm thinking of giving them a try for a dinner on sunday night for 6. Any recent reports? Fri Aug 28 12:35:39 -0700 2009 10971 Nehna 1 4986845 Still very good. I had dinner there a couple of months ago. Great bang for the buck. Steve eats there at least once every 2 or 3 weeks. No doubt he'll weigh in soon.

Daniel has been doing some great soft shell tacos lately and even put his dry rubbed ribs (with a nice dipping sauce) on the menu a couple of times (not sure if it'll be there on Sunday). The buckwheat crepe with salmon and creme is my other favorite app... Ginny loves the simplicity of the halibut and orders it reasonably regularly as her entree. I also think the current bacon wrapped pork dish is excellent these days. And the home-made ice cream is still great as well. So, I guess this is an affirmative answer, huh?

Village...which I'm actually quite looking forward to). But will defn. pop into Chestnut for dinner again soon. Sat Aug 29 15:32:09 -0700 2009 4988933 10971 Nehna
