I had the prix fixe. $64 plus tax. Still kinda pricey, but cheaper than ordering ala carte if you’re going to order three courses anyway. I had squash soup for my appetizer, red snapper for my entree, and butterscotch cake for dessert. Prix fixe also included a glass of Prosecco. Very nice meal. I’d probably order similar again. I had a second glass of Prosecco ($13). Total with tax was $83.85 pre-tip.

Oh it’s definitely the bacon Mac and cheese if I want to splurge. But not sure if I’m feeling it tonight? What are the crab fritters?

I finally got to order the cheeseburger that they serve only at the late shows, and it was a big disappointment.

But only disappointment I’ve had. The squash soup is very good. I also like the scallops when they have them.

The best meal is always the cheapest one- you can hit the food and drink minimum exactly by ordering he beet salad and a side of spinach/Swiss chard type greens.

It’s not a perfect meal, but it’s $25.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

I really liked the Lemon Ricotta Ravioli the last time we went. And we always order the fries.

Hate the food there, IMO Birdland's is much better.

No, they are two separate dishes. The beet salad has several types of beets, other root vegetables, greens and goat cheese. Very good. 

The Swiss chard mix is served hot. It’s not exciting, but there’s a vinegar taste to it that is quite pleasing.

The bruschetta is pretty filling for what it is. And pretty good too. Or you could go with dessert and a glass of port.
