Not About Food, 12/11/02

of chocolate... the cherries were very nice, kind of stewed.. ANYHOW! clearly it was a fine enough meal. but I think that moving forward I wont make this a #1 spot for RW. they dont seem to take the same kind of care in the food...

Had an experience at a rare lunch out with my husband today and would love to hear others' opinions about this. Went to the Friendly Toast in Portsmouth, NH, which has good food and uneven service of the tattooed hipster variety...
