Monday afternoon quarterbacking

I finally had a moment to look at yesterday's paper, and I see the photo with the review of Tark's Grill ran in black-and-white, so here it is in living color.

The neighborhood certainly seems to have embraced the place. If it were located downtown, I think it would need more edge to survive; but maybe not. If you've eaten there, let us know what you think.

Obviously I was most impressed by the service, particularly as the place was packed. The line got cut from the review for space reasons, but I originally pointed out that when the waitress told the manager we hadn't liked one of the entrees, even though we hadn't complained, and he took it off the check, it could have affected her tip. She did it anyway.

I noticed on the menu that steaks may be ordered char grilled or blackened. Their filet mignon is described as "8 oz char grilled with a red wine reduction." I wonder what happens if you order the filet mignon blackened - is it first char grilled then blackened, or the other way around. Same thing with the T-bone.

Ooh - and they have corn!

Bleh.

And Bob gets the prize for the most succinct comment! It's right up there with "Gack."
