Friday night was a throw-back to the ole days, when I knew almost every face or name in the dining room and the Dancin Room. 

Incredible energy with smiling friends and sentimental past employees raving over prime rib, flounder cagney & steak cagney...oohin and aahin over the decor like they'd seen it for the first time, then walking into the kitchen to hug the same faces they worked with 25 or 30 years ago.  

Like they say, "The joint was rocking." 

I guess we should have threatened to close several years ago.
