It was so good!<\/p>\n<p>I think part of the reason that&#8217;s kept us from venturing out and trying more new places is that we&#8217;ve been on this <a href=\"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=27486\" >Hello Fresh<\/a> cooking at home kick. We usually get three or four meals a week, and you have to make them pretty much right away after you receive them so that usually prevents us from going out to eat. That&#8217;s not a bad thing but it does keep us from checking out all of the new or already existing restaurants in town that we&#8217;ve never been to yet. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/53937227388\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53937227388_cfa447dd46.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of the &#8220;specials&#8221; board on the day we went to Poplar.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/53937227363\/in\/photostream\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53937227363_43604a328c_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They had lots of options on their cocktail menu and the drink prices are actually quite reasonable.
