We initiated a "Blue Plate Special" on Wednesday nights when we were a bit slow.  For a set price we offer a special plate each Wednesday, in addition to our vast regular menu, to include a small salad & homemade bread which is a subtle invitation for guests to visit us more often, keeping the staff happy with more guests to serve on a normally slow evening.  Word got out and now we're enjoying a new surge in mid-week numbers of guests.
