This Week's Prix-fixe

It was highly praised, the lasagna of last night's menu.  And look at it!  One customer commented that the corn tasted like it was just husked that morning, and you know what?  It was!!

It was very busy too.  A little too busy, seeing as most of the tables sat at 6:30.  We never sold out of the prix-fixe, but there must have been 8 or 10 tables all fired at once, which jolted the kitchen into the weeds.  Thankfully the food came out in a timely fashion (at least that is how it appeared to me.) It wasn't fun for the line, but they did do a terrific job of keeping up.  By 7:30, when we had 3 or 4 parties waiting 30 to 45 minutes for their place at a table,  I simply had to turn people away, since I knew there was not going to be any chance that Kevin would want to seat any late tables.  This - thankfully - doesn't happen too often, and certainly not on a weeknight.  Even the bar was loaded.  One possible explanation for the exceptional crowd - besides, of course, Kevin's fabulous food - is the approaching return of students to Washington College, as there did seem to be some parent/student combos in the audience.  Otherwise, it was many regulars, with friends and family, celebrating a good meal together.

Cheers!
