I also enjoyed the new venue. My food was very good.
I don't mind the added "service charge". It was fairly well spelled out. Once they get used to us, maybe they won't do that, although it may be policy. (They host a lot of large groups. The ROMEOS, and various car clubs, among them.) And yes, our waitperson was very efficient and pleasant. And very easy on the eyes, I should add.
It was also nice to meet Ralph and Gabe, after having many missed so many meetings. I almost felt like a newcomer. It was nice to meet Rob, too. I kind of got the idea that he was new, but I could be mistaken about that. Don't recall seeing him on any of the forums.
Good to see Charlie and Pat, as always. Missed a few folks who I thought would be there.
