February brought us to another new kid on the block, Maple and Ash. Expectations were high. After over pricing himself right out of the bid for construction, Hans was still invited to have dinner with the owners and their cut rate choice. Due to his rave reviews coupled with a few other opinions we were excited to say the least. Not as excited to pound drinks on Brad Rays tab but excited nonetheless. We waited an hour to be seated but that was partly our own doing as we wanted to wait for a bigger table.

Apps were of the seafood variety with oysters and shrimp. Both were delightful.

Standard order of the bone in ribeye for me. It was excellent.

Sides were onion rings (Hans tried to hoard them all again) Yukon gold gratin potatoes which was out of site, broccolini, and Brussels sprouts. All were excellent.

All in all a great night. Rick Ray walked for free by winning the NFL pool, and we followed up the night with beers at Butch Mcguires. On to March.
