   I give it three months. Bring back MARBLES!!!!!!!!!!! These specialty type places are not right for the area – sorry but I don’t see many of the college kids choosing to go there on a Friday for date night. Marbles or Teresa’s II.

   We went for dinner last night and it was very good. We were both happy with the drink menu — Malbec for me and Dogfish Head Midas Touch on tap for him — and hope to try a flight of tequila next time we go. The food came out quickly and was delicious. After only one appetizer (figs stuffed with brie) and and three shared plates (black truffle flatbread, kobe tacos, and fish tacos), we were stuffed, but that didn’t stop us from getting dessert…the most delicious churros I’ve ever had! We’ll be going back soon with friends.
