Put your little arm out... And grab a glass of wine!"
Sue is banned to the corner cause she has a cold....

Indeed... Donna is well red!
A snapshot of the menu revealed why it took us so long to decide what to have!
Wow! Everything sounded delightful

Our waiter was outstanding.... Very helpful!
The salt is gone and the fish remains... It was so juicy!

Sue had a wonderful salad
Wine flowed and stories were told
Hans has the trusty camera at the ready in case there is a cake
