Went to Neir's for dinner and Trivia. Their Happy Hour special is a great deal - 3 app combo for $12.99! They also have drink specials. After chowing down, it was Wiseguys Trivia time. The quwstions ranged from "Everyone knows that!" to "Who knows that?!?!" and everthing in between. Always a fun time!

This is our special occasion restaurant but as a Valentine’s Day, it is no more they charge almost a $13 service fee. No other restaurant in the area does that and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it on their bill. I don’t see what extra service I got for $13 It’s a shame because I live not far from there and I don’t plan on going back. I know it’s a small amount but it’s the point and it’s very sneaky. They don’t even say it on your menu.
