Bday dinner

by kruge2 at Citysearch

My friends surprised me with dinner here the night of my bday, cuz they are awesome like that. Ordered the spaghetti with clams, which sounds kinda weird at first but it is in a white wine sauce so it is sooooo yummay. Everybody else was pretty happy with what they ordered, tried some of my friend's pizza and it was pretty darn tasty. It gets pretty busy here, especially at the end of the week so be prepared for slower service. But the servers are all charming and funny so it ain't too bad.
