Hi everyone, I would like to post the new fall menu I've started this week and am looking for a critiqie of it. I don't really have anyone to bounce ideas off of these days, the chef is too busy and the rest of the staff is scared of me for some reason :-
Just thought I would put it out there if anyone is interested. The descriptions are for the servers as they don't like to take notes when I go over all the new dishes for them. So I thought while I was at it I would post it up for a more objective critique. Enjoy
What about the prices? Look ok
Sorry for my crude grammar and spelling
