My wife and I are on a ten day road trip. First stop was College Station to visit our youngest son. He choose an Italian place that he likes. They were jam packed due to it being "ring day" and a wedding rehearsal dinner party so we were seating late (with reservations) and the food arrived even later, much later... When it came it was excellent. I had Veal Oscar. When the bill came for the five of us they did not charge for the food, only drinks. Nice move on them.

Tonight we ate at a place in New Orleans with a friend we are visiting. Excellent again. Prompt and excellent service and great food. I had a grilled Caesar salad and a blackened shrimp and grits cakes. We are here for another night before we head to Memphis so we still need to sort tomorrows meals.
