I ended up ordering it too. It was fine, the presentation was better than what was in the AA preparation guide, though the sauce was lining the dish and not on the side. A couple bites were a bit tough but was pretty nicely prepared thereafter.

The butternut squash soup was pleasant though a bit salty, and I skipped the boring boston bibb salad.

The starters were different than what I've seen accompany this menu, but unless you're starving I'd skip them. They weren't good and weren't worth cutting into valuable sleep time. The lump crab salad was bland and tasted 'wet.' jetBlue Mint had this on their menu the other month and it was much fresher tasting and more creatively executed.

The Sundae was perfect, 10/10.
