Alright — this damn place has been my haunt for years. My ex-wife and I first went there back in 2002 for dinner one night and I’ve been returning ever since. I started by sitting at the piano bar for a year, joining in while others sang.

It definitely was my home away from home. Between 2003 and 2005, I was there at a minimum of two nights a week and usually more. Always spending at least $25 or more.
