It is meeting new people, relaxing with that special person and just doing something different. The menu sounds very good to me and the prices seem very reasonable. I can tell you that when the snow birds get down there this restaurant should do very well. I'm just saying.. ....

You under estimate many of us year round residents. The majority of us travel extensively and do know what prices are like in other cities. Just a few weeks ago I was in NH for over a month and ate out frequently, we were in Manchester and Portsmouth and the quality of food was excellent and we had no problem paying for
good food. When we were in Portsmouth We ate out in several great little restaurants and did not even look at the price because the food was excellent. We were in San Francisco and ate at one of the best Italian restaurants we have ever been to, and never bothered to look at the price.
The reason many of us eat at home is due to the lack of good restaurants serving excellent food, it is not the price of those meals, but the quality. Give us value for money and a restaurant will be full every night.
You are so right ........... when the snow birds get here every restaurant will be full .......... and that is basically why mediocrity in our restaurants is so accepted by the owner. They make their money in the winter season.
