    Ali was our server and he was amazing. On a rainy raw day his suggestion for the hot specialty tea was brilliant (and friend thought it was too and happily had one). The basil, honey and ginger was perfect!

    It was a busy Saturday night. Our server, Julio did a great job keeping up with us and all of his other tables. He was attentive and prompt with the drink, appetizer and entree orders. Food was cooked as requested and tasted great.

    Ted’s Bulletin’s food is always good. Our experience was pretty good this time as my wife and I were able to discuss menu options with the manager who was very candid with us regarding our choices and also provided his recommendations. Both choices turned out to be delicious. On the other hand, our waitress wasn’t good at all. She was very forgetful as we often had to remind her of specific requests that we asked for. Other times, we had to look for her for refills, and we had to ask one of the other managers for a side of ranch that we asked for with our fries. That was the most frustrating part, but everything else was good.
