Yes the food was great. I’m thinking about going back there again soon with my wife, really liked the location. I can’t wait till some of us can hang out again over a good meal, I had an awesome time!

Hey David,
It was good meeting you. I took a look at moneyning and loved it. It’s now one of the only non-food blogs on my feed reader.
Good luck with going full-time blogging,
Aaron
