    Even though Teca lost power and had problems with their generator after we received our appetizers, we decided to wait it out to see if power returned. Our waiter, Kumar, made our wait lots of fun with his humor and constant updates. Power returned at 6 and we were glad we waited for our main course. We had all ordered off the special menu and everyone was pleased with their choices. We have been to Teca several times. We have never been disappointed with the food and the service has always been above and beyond.

    Post Valentines dinner with grandkids. Our server Colleen was fantastic. Apps were very good. French onion soup wonderful as always. Shrimp lejon a bit overcooked but the cheesesteak eggrolls were a big hit. Kids each had pizza, and hubs and I opted for sandwiches which were both yummy. Truffle fries were awesome.

    Simple Irish Menu. Too many potatoes for my taste. Irish stew was tasty, but 80% potato and three bites of meat. Giant potato wedges, with one thin piece of fish in the fish and chips, again tasted fine, just overwhelmed by potato.
