    For the third time, we ate Thanksgiving lunch/dinner mid-afternoon at Succotash. The crowds from early had left and the evening folks hadn't come, so it was relatively quiet. There is one menu for Thanksgiving, so we didn't have to make any decisions. Everything was great and we brought some turkey and ham, a deviled egg, and brussel sprouts home with us. The salad vanished quickly, as did the mashed potatoes and green beans. Desserts are so cute, and it is great to have several to sample. /They didn't make it home with us either! Our only addition was mugs of the hot mulled cider (sans Bourbon - no alcohol for us). It is truly worth it!

    While the menu might look common place, it's the quality of the ingredients and thoughtfulness of the preparation that makes Ruthie's outstanding, and a neighborhood gem. We were greeted like family, service was attention and professional while informal and friendly. The wood fire grilled branzino was outstanding -- hot, moist, perfectly seasoned. Each dish, while familiar in concept, has a surprise twist that is so pleasing.

    Gyu-Kaku is a fantastic spot for Japanese BBQ with a fun, interactive dining experience. The quality of the meats and fresh ingredients is top-notch, and the variety of marinades, like miso and sweet soy, is irresistible. Grilling your own food at the table adds a personal touch, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Highlights include the spicy pork belly and garlic shrimp, and the s’mores dessert is a fun way to end the meal. Great food, excellent service, and a lively atmosphere make Gyu-Kaku perfect for any occasion!
