The large serving of meatloaf was homemade good, drenched in mushroom gravy and served over a large mound of mashed potatoes. It was comfort food at its best. The crab cakes are even more successful. Although they do contain filler, it's just enough to bind the lumps of crab together. They are served atop lobster grits with slivers of stir-fried carrots and peppers.
Service was attentive, and the servers were quick with refills on drinks, including water and sodas.

It seemed that every second table had a plate of fried calamari, and many tables were crammed with various kinds of pizzas.

Desserts were especially enticing. Here, I finally found the simple but delicious chocolate layer cake I'd had a taste for and a not-too-sweet carrot cake that was rich with spices.
