According to Quade, the restau-
rant caters to "the over 35 crowd,"
and its prices reflect this. The high-
est priced entree was the lobster tail
dinner for $29.95, and the most ex-
pensive bottle of sparkling wine -
a 1982 Dom Perignon - is $110.
But Quade noted that the restau-
rant's bar has recently begun to at-
tract a younger crowd, and during
graduation it has been known to
draw over 500 people.
The restaurant sports both lunch
and dinner menus, as well as a lim-
ited children's selection. A unique
feature of the restaurant is its tailor
made menus, printed daily.
