shenandoah at the arbor

first run was a success! poll worked well (5 to 1) and six of seven invited showed up. now onto weightier matters...

shenandoah is cutesy. sit inside if you're over 55 and boring as hell, or outside if you want a rather lovely view. the patio has lots of foliage, a little stream thing, and pretty lights.

the food wasn't bad. they start you off with apple fitters, which reminded us of donut holes. they would've been better if there were more apple bits inside, but they were warm and sweet. our group got steak, duck, beef brisket, and meat loaf. steak and duck were average. you could tell the duck was done a bit earlier than the rest so it had been sitting there. beef brisket wasn't as juicy as i'm used to, but had good flavor. and the meat loaf was quite good.

i got a iced tea with mint syrup that you can add yourself. i liked it. others said the syrup reminded them of toothpaste. for dessert we got the butterfinger creme brulee. while not bad, you should probably stick to the regular version. it's too sweet, and the butterfinger is only on the bottom.

it was a bit pricier than i was expecting (i got the suggestion out of the orange coast cheap eats issue), but reasonable.

possible return. but probably only on a date. ...with a girl.
